Beleriand and Middle earth

[*Varda*]

Thank you so much for the link to the map! I'd also been puzzling over how Beleriand could fit in the kind of space shown in LotR, so it was really helpful to find out it'd sunk. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Even so, there still seems to be a bigger space between the Blue Mountains and where Beleriand is than is shown in The Silmarillion *stares at maps for a little while* i'm finding it hard to explain myself here, sorry i'm confusing anyone (i'm confusing myself [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] ).

Beleriand seemed to be really close to the Blue Mountains right? But when I look at the LotR map there seems to be a biggish gap between where Beleriand sank and the Blue Mountains begin. They seem to be too close together on the Silmarillion map and the map on the link you gave us.

Sorry if i rambled and sounded kind of confusing.
