Beleriand Bafflers - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This game is alike to one I was told in a Geography lesson. I have adapted it slightly and made it a little easier. It is easy if you happen to have a map of Beleriand close at hand
Firstly, here are the rules;

1) Think of a place or landmark in Beleriand ( EDDIT: Scrub that, Anywhere in M-E) but do not say it until some one has guessed it (obviously)
2) Name the terrain, (e.g, mountains, plain, forest ect..)
3) Say one event that happened there or one fact about it. (This can be very minor, but specific to that place, you cannot say, "some one had their lunch there" as that could be anywhere.)

Got that?
If not, here's an example,

Q) Terrain = mountainous,
Event / fact = Where Celegorm and Curufin dwelt south of the pass of Aglon.

A) Himlad

Is that clear? Hope so.

Right, first one,
Terrain = wet
events / fact = There are 7 rivers.

Take it away.

"The Golden" -- meaning Glaurung Smaug and a Numenorian King (forgot his name...)?
