Taeglin was a river of Middle-earth in the First Age. It was a major tributary of the great river Sirion in the region of Beleriand.
History[]
Taeglin rose in the southern reaches of the Ered Wethrin and flowed southeast, passing along the southern part through the Forest of Brethil running through a gorge named Cabed-en-Aras; receiving the waters of Glithui and Malduin, and finally joined the river Sirion on the borders of Doriath.
Near the western border of Brethil was the Crossings of Taeglin, the the most important ford and crossing place on the river. A road passed through it from Nargothrond to Minas Tirith.
The Celebros and Malduin were its most important minor tributaries.[1]
The banks of the river Taeglin near the Celebros were the scene of the encounter between Túrin Turambar and the dragon Glaurung.[2][3][4]
Other versions of the legendarium[]
In earlier writings, the river's name was spelled Teiglin. As revealed in the History of Middle-earth series, the river name should actually have been spelt Taeglin. This was a relatively late change which was not adopted into the published Silmarillion, which uses the old name.[5]
