Methiriad
Methiriad, also known as Mid-Beleriand, was a region of West Beleriand that was located between Doriath and the river Narog.
Methiriad consisted of the following locations:
- Dor-Cúarthol
- Falls of Sirion
- Gates of Sirion
- Moors of the Nibin-noeg
- Nan-tathren
- Nivrim
- Talath Dirnen
- Vales of Sirion
According to Christopher Tolkien, both of these names only appear on the The Second 'Silmarillion' Map.
Etymology
Methiriad is a Sindarin word, but it is not glossed. As Paul Strack explains, it could mean "End of Two Rivers", from Meth ("last") + a mutated form of Sîr ("river, stream") + -ad ("dual").
