Everything about Falas totally explained
In the fiction of
J. R. R. Tolkien, The
Falas ("Coast" or "Shore") was an area on the west coast of
Beleriand, south of
Nevrast. The River
Brithon and the River
Nenning ran into the sea here.
Sindarin
Elves ruled by
Círdan dwelt here, and built the havens of
Brithombar and
Eglarest. In
F.A. 65,
Finrod Felagund, ruler of Nargothrond, built the tower of
Barad Nimras ("White Horn Tower") on a cape of the Falas between Brithombar and Eglarest, to watch for attacks from the sea by
Morgoth.
The Falas only occasionally enters into the events of the
First Age; in the
First Battle of Beleriand, Morgoth's host overran the Falas and besieged the two havens, but lifted the siege in order to join in the Second Battle. The Havens of the Falas were finally destroyed in F.A. 473, and Círdan's people fled to the
Mouths of Sirion and the
Isle of Balar.
