I just love the way the world kept expanding onto new sheets...
Beleriand was a vast region located in north-western Middle-earth during the First Age. Originally, the name referred only to the area around the Bay of Balar, but in time the name was also applied to the entire land. The root of the word, Beler or Balar, is believed to refer to the Maia Ossë, who often dwelt at the shores of Balar. The War of Wrath at the end of the First Age brought the destruction of the entire continent, and its descent into the sea.
Yay! Mirkwood. Home of the Elvenking of the Woodland Realm...So awesome--from my new book Maps of Middle-Earth in color. What a kingdom for such a majestic KING as Thranduil.
