Places in Middle-earth
Nivrim
Type: Forests, Fields, Plains
Region: Beleriand & North
Location: The small wooded part of Doriath that lay west of the river Sirion, south of the inflow of Teiglin and north of the Aelin-uial.
Description:
[All] Doriath lay east of Sirion save for a narrow region of woodland between the meeting of Teiglin and Sirion and the Meres of Twilight. By the people of Doriath this wood was called Nivrim, the West March; great oak-trees grew there, and it also was encompassed within the Girdle of Melian, that so some portion of Sirion which she loved in reverence of Ulmo should be wholly under the power of Thingol.
Doriath, with the (unmarked) forest of Nivrim, west of Sirion and south of Teiglin.
