<p>72.3.237.81: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Barad Eithel''' ([[S.]] 'Tower of the Well': ''[[barad]]'' &quot;tower&quot; ''[[eithel]]'' &quot;well, ''gen.''&quot;) was the mountain fortress of [[Fingolfin]] and his son [[Fingon]], thus the seat (until the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]) of the [[High Kings of the Noldor]]. It was set in the eastern foothills of the [[Ered Wethrin]], at the source of the River [[Sirion]]. It was here that the [[Battle of Unnumbered Tears]] took place, and where Fingon was slain, giving [[Morgoth]] the chance to take control over the chief stronghold of both [[Mithrim]] and [[Dor-lómin]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Fortresses]]</div>
