Region in the far northwest of Middle Earth in the First Age. Its history is recounted in Tolkien's epic work "The Silmarillion". Being the closest region to Valinor, this was the region peopled by elves who returned from Valinor or who didn't quite reach it; it is also the nearest region to Morgoth's fortress at Angband. The Wars of Beleriand - including five major battles and innumerable skirmishes - and the tales of Beren and Luthien, Turin and Nienor, and Tuor and Idril all take place in the setting of Beleriand.
The realms of Beleriand include Doriath, Nargothrond, Gondolin, Thargelion, Ossiriand, Himring,Falas, Mithrim, Dor-lomin and Dorthonion.
Beleriand is destroyed at the end of the Silmarillion in a massive battle in which the forces of Valinor join those of the elves of Beleriand in finally destroying Morgoth's forces; the realm is destroyed in the conflict and sinks into the sea (except Himling Island and Tol Fuin, which appear on later maps).

The Noldor returned to Beleriand after the tragic events of the Kinslaying, whereas the Sindar remained in Beleriand all along.
Of all the battles of Beleriand, Nirnaeth Arnoediad, the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, was the most disastrous for the elves.

Elvish for "petty-dwarves". In The Silmarillion, they are dispersed and secretive dwarves who entered Beleriand before the elves made contact with the dwarves of Belegost and Nogrod. They were persecuted and hunted down because the elves thought they were creatures of Morgoth, and as a result they became accustomed to hiding in hidden underground homes, and also to hating the elves (especially the Noldor).
The only petty-dwarves to play a major role were Mim and his sons Khim and Ibun. They got into a fight with Turin and his companions, and Turin fatally shot Khim with an arrow and captured Mim. Mim took Turin to his home in return for mercy, but later betrayed Turin to orcs when they captured him. He was later slain by Beleg. His home, on the mountain Amon Rudh, was known as Bar-en-Danwedh, the House of Ransom.

The common definition for people who stand around outside City Hall in Belfast, Northern Ireland - A more dilute version of what one might consider a 'goth', except much more repugnant.
Cityhallians are well renowned for their terrible tastes, particularly in music (which mainly consists of long forgotten metal bands that should have been left alone to die in the back of peoples minds, or the more fashionably newer ‘nu-metal’ bands, which should have died from the word go).
On the rare occasions they actually leave City Hall, Cityhallians are easy to spot. A sombre, angsty expression and black t-shirt proclaiming an apparent love of some hideously awful band are common features on most, but some optional characteristics might include black eyeliner smudged down the cheek to give the impression that life is so bad it often drives them to tears, spiky leather neck/wristbands and particularly on the girls, anything made of ripped black fishnet. For examples of cityhallians outside their natural habitat, see Fresh Garbage, or on the odd occasion, Stiletto.
Claiming that such a generic look helps express individuality, cityhallians are surprisingly feared by the general local populace, but, of course, unnecessarily. While large leather boots and pierced… everythings… may give the impression to some that this lot of mangy creatures are actually capable of violence, they are generally quite timid, and lack the necessary intelligence and basic motor skills to actually walk around (usually seen on a windy day when the forces of nature are the only thing affecting their movement), let alone clench a fist or form a coherent insulting remark.
Cityhallians are usually in the age range of 12-16. According to research however, the cityhallian mentality can linger inside a host for up to 500 years, feeding initially off their teenage depression, and eventually, their general sense of decency.
