Echad i Sedryn on the hill of Amon Rûdh (slightly conjectural)
When Túrin and his outlaw band first settled in Mîm's home within Amon Rûdh, they were simply seeking shelter for themselves. After Beleg joined Túrin there, the band began to grow, and ultimately a new land grew up in defiance of Morgoth and his Orcs: Dor-Cúarthol, the Land of Bow and Helm. All around the hill of Amon Rûdh, new forts and camps sprang up to hold those joining Túrin and Beleg, but Amon Rûdh itself was still held only by the original band who had settled there. After the emergence of Dor-Cúarthol, Túrin's concealed settlement on the hill was given a new name: Echad i Sedryn, the Camp of the Faithful.
Notes
1 |
The hidden refuge on Amon Rûdh had existed long before it was given the name of Echad i Sedryn, and indeed the Petty-dwarves had evidently dwelt in that place for some considerable time. It was only after Mîm ransomed it to Túrin and his outlaw band, and the land of Dor-Cúarthol was subsequently founded, that it became known as Echad i Sedryn. Dor-Cúarthol was a short-lived land indeed; it was founded early in I 489, but betrayed and destroyed in the autumn of the same year.
