'''Erech''' was a hill in [[Gondor]] situated in the far north of the province of [[Lamedon]]. Its name, like so many names in Gondor, was of unknown pre-Númenórean origin.

In the [[Second Age]], [[Isildur]] brought with him a large stone (the height of a man) as a symbol of his lineage and Gondor. He set it on the hill of Erech. He made the local hill tribes swear an oath of loyalty on the stone. The hill tribes later broke their oath and were doomed to haunt the place as the [[Dead Men]].

The area was completely abandoned by the end of the [[Third Age]], when the heir of Isildur, [[Aragorn II|Aragorn]], came to Erech to hold the Dead to their oath again. This time they held true to their oath and formed the Host of the Dead to help Aragorn defeat the [[Corsairs of Umbar]] at [[Pelargir]].

After the battle at Pelargir, Aragorn released them from their oath and they were allowed to rest.

'''Beleg Cúthalion''' was a [[Sinda]] who served in the army of King [[Elu Thingol]] of [[Doriath]]. He followed no man and could not be restrained in the [[Dagor Aglareb]], when he and [[Mablung]], joined the western army of [[Fingon]] and went forth to fight.
==History==
Together with Mablung, he was one of the great captains of the [[Sindar]], and took part in the [[Hunting of the Wolf]]. Beleg carried a black bow named [[Belthronding]], to which his surname referred, and an arrow called [[Dailir]].

Later he became a good friend and brother-in-arms of [[Túrin Turambar]], and thus became ensnared in Túrin's accursed fate. When Túrin left [[Doriath]], Beleg got permission from Thingol to follow him into exile, wielding the black sword [[Anglachel]] that [[Eöl]] had forged and given to Thingol in tribute. Beleg found Túrin at [[Amon Rûdh]] and was tortured by the outlaws until Túrin found and released him. Together with Túrin, Beleg became for a while a captain against Morgoth, and the place where they dwelt became known as [[Dor-Cúarthol]], the "Land of Bow and Helm". When Túrin was captured by [[Morgoth]], Beleg was grievously wounded, yet with the knowledge and strength of an elite Elven warrior he recovered and followed the [[Orcs]]. He met the escaped thrall [[Gwindor]] in [[Taur-nu-Fuin (Dorthonion)|Taur-nu-Fuin]], and together they rescued Túrin, but Beleg accidentally cut Túrin with his sword. Túrin awoke and did not recognize Beleg in the darkness, and assumed the shape bent over him with a blade was an Orc who was about to torture him again. In a sudden rage of self defense, Túrin wrested Anglachel from Beleg and killed him.

== Etymology ==

''Beleg'' means "mighty" in [[Sindarin]]. His [[epessë]] ''Cúthalion'' means "Strongbow".
