Echoriad

Eagles bearing Húrin and Huor into the Echoriad, to Gondolin, by Alan Lee

The Echoriad or Encircling Mountains were a range of mountains located in the north of Beleriand, next to Dorthonion, in the First Age.

History

The Echoriad formed a natural circle of rock enclosing the Vale of Tumladen, within which lay the Elven city of Gondolin. A hidden ravine provided the only access through the Echoriad a way guarded by seven gates. For hundreds of years of the Sun, the Great Eagles led by Thorondor lived in the southern part of the mountains called the Crissaegrim, and kept the spies of Morgoth from discovering the location of Gondolin.

Fingolfin, a High King of the Ñoldor, was buried in the Echoriad north of Gondolin in a great cairn named Sarnas Fingolfin, made by his son, King Turgon, of Gondolin, after Fingolgin was slain in a duel with Morgoth.

Etymology

Echoriad was a Sindarin name meaning 'encircling fence'.
