Map of Doriath.
Doriath, showing Estolad south of the forest of Nan Elmoth.
Then by the advice of Felagund Bëor gathered all the wandering families and kindreds of his people, and they removed over Gelion, and took up their abode in the lands of Amrod and Amras, upon the east banks of the Celon south of Nan Elmoth, near to the borders of Doriath; and the name of that land thereafter was Estolad, the Encampment. But when after a year had passed Felagund wished to return to his own country, Bëor begged leave to come with him.... The rule of his folk he committed to Baran his elder son; and he did not return again to Estolad.
