Cave-citadel in western Beleriand, ruled by Finrod who was known as Felagund, the master of caves, because of it. Like Gondolin, it was established as a hidden city, and was based on dwarven architecture. It was mostly underground.
Forces from Nargothrond were heavily involved in Dagor Bragollach, with the leading warrior Gelmir captured by Morgoth. Only a small company took part in Nirnaeth Arnoediad, but, led by Gwindor, they played a central role, charging rashly into battle and precipitating disaster.
The reason there was only a small force is that Nargothrond was on bad terms with the sons of Feanor, two of whom Celegorm and Curufin had usurped rule of Nargothrond during Finrod's absence (he was imprisoned in Tol Sirion along with Beren, and who died there). The rightful ruler Orodreth was eventually restored with the help of Beren and Luthien.
Turin later travelled to Nargothrond along with Gwindor, and precipitated the downfall of the city by counselling a more aggressive military strategy (the elves had previously relied on secrecy and arrows in the dark). A bridge was built to allow assaults, but instead it was used by Glaurung and a host of orcs to attack Nargothrond and lay it to waste.
Glaurung turned Nargothrond into his lair until he was slain; after which Mim the petty dwarf took it over, until slain by Hurin.

Get the Nargothrond mug.A Jail wife/bitch that will keep the cell smelling spring-time fresh as well as looking warm and inviting.
By adding a simple wood veneer lampshade to the caged light, Martha was able to warmth and color to the cold gray concrete cell.

Get the martha stewart mug.A slang term for the newly urbanized city of Hartford, CT. Many Hartford area residents who aren't young wiggers or unweducated minorities hate this term.
Young wigger from Meriden: Yo, Murrrden is wack, let's shoot up to Hotford
Young Black Professional: Listen, Cracker, you're lucky I have a meeting at Aetna today, otherwise I wouldn't take you!

Get the nr = nt mug.A small coastal town in the Wildlands, the area between Sommerlund and Durenor. Virtually the only settlement in the entire region. Like the Wildlands as a whole, Ragadorn is home to a motley crew of Szalls (a weak type of Giaks), pirates and outlaws.
Lone Wolf ends up stranded in the town after his ship sinks in Lone Wolf 2: Fire on the Water. He has to find a way to get transport east to Durenor, while avoiding the dangers of Ragadorn itself. There is also a board game, Ragadorn Ale-House Brawl, included in the Magnamund Companion guidebook. Ragadorn is the kind of place where a brawl would barely make the news, so the game is quite appropriate.
Nominally listed as the "capital" of the Wildlands, although this idea is largely empty in such a desolate and chaotic place.

Lone Wolf entered Ragadorn after being picked up by a pirate ship and taken there.
Travellers to Ragadorn are warned to be careful of dangers ranging from cut-throats to Helghast.
