"[
Fingolfin] passed over Dor-nu-Fauglith like a wind amid the dust, and all that beheld his onset fled in amaze..."
Quenta Silmarillion 18
Of the Ruin of Beleriand and Fall of Fingolfin
A name meaning 'land under gasping dust' or 'land under choking ash', referring to the same region as the more common name Anfauglith. This was the scorched desert land that lay between the northern fences of Beleriand and Morgoth's fortress of Angband, formed by the flames of the Dagor Bragollach. Before that ruinous Battle, it had been the wide green plain of Ard-galen, but after Morgoth unleashed his fires, nothing was left but an empty desert of ash and dust.
