Brithombar and Eglarest, the harbour-cities of Círdan the Shipwright in the coastal lands of the Falas in West Beleriand.
| Brithombar |
The northern and western Haven, Brithombar stood at the mouth of the river Brithon, from which it took its name. The Haven stood on a narrow bay that ran southwestwards into the Great Sea, and the tower of Barad Nimras was built on the headland that formed the southern extremity of this bay. |
| Eglarest |
Eglarest lay some seventy-five miles to the east and south of Brithombar, built on the ravine that formed at the mouth of the river Nenning. As at Brithombar, the river's waters emptied into a long narrow inlet of the sea that led southwestwards from the Haven. |
