Doriath lore
Doriath was an ancient Telerin kingdom in Beleriand, where Melian and Thingol went to live after their encounter in Nan Elmoth, and it became the home to all the Elves who lost their way and never found the western bay (Lay of Leithian, Canto IV), that became known as Sindar, grey-elves. Within a hill in the middle of Eglador lies Menegroth, the fairest dwelling of any creature east of the Sea: it was founded in the Years of the Trees, built by Elves and Naugrim: and for their service Thingol paid an amount of pearls found in the shallow waters of the Bay of Balar: a small price for him, but the biggest of them, Nimphelos, was praised by the Dwarven king more than a mountain of gold. Doriath also hosted a large population of Laegrim elves: many left Ossiriand after the first Battle of Beleriand, where their king Denethor fell, and went to live in Arthòrien, inside the net of enchantments that surrounded Eglador: the Girdle of Melian. By his folk, Elu Thingol is considered the High King of the Elves in Middle Earth, considering all of Beleriand as his dominion. However, King Thingol rules only Doriath, and his rule on it was saved by the arrival of the Noldor in Middle-earth. Originally, when the Men arrived in Beleriand, King Thingol refused to let them in his land; however, on Finrod's request, King Thingol allowed the Haladin to settle in Brethil.
