Layout of Middle-Earth after the wrath of the Valar
Hi, I have read The Silmarillian several times and I was wondering if someone could help me? After the wrath of the Valar, where is Beleriand, or parts of Beleriand in contrast to the layout of Middle-Earth?
Beleriand was in the extreme west of middle-earth! I think! If you look at your map of middle-earth and find the Shire and the Blue Mountains, it was West of there. The Great Forest of Doriath was situated there, home of some great Elves, even Tree beard walked the lands of Beleriand. But it is all gone now unfortunately.

Beleriand was largely destroyed and submerged at the end of the First Age during the War of Wrath. Its surviving eastern parts were joined to the rest of Middle-earth, while most of Beleriand now lies beneath the sea, west of the later coastline.

Yeah, that’s basically right. Most of Beleriand was destroyed and sank beneath the sea after the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age. The eastern parts around the Blue Mountains survived and became connected to the later lands of Middle-earth. It’s pretty fascinating how much the geography changed after the War of Wrath.Xavierliveshere wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2009 8:02 pm Hi, I have read The Silmarillian several times and I was wondering if someone could help me?
