Eregion (also known as Hollin) is an ancient realm of the Elves, now reduced to ruins, lying east of Tharbad, north of Dunland, and west of Moria. In the Second Age it was a prosperous Elven land where the rings of power were forged in cooperation with Sauron — its fall marked a turning point in the history of Middle-earth.

Geography

Eregion occupies the foothills west of the Misty Mountains. The Ancient Broken Road runs from Rivendell southward through the region toward Tharbad. The great gate of Moria — the Doors of Durin — was built here to serve trade between the Elves of Eregion and the Dwarves of Khazad-dûm.
