The History of Middle-earth, volume III_The Lays of Beleriand_ The Lay of the Children of Húrin, lines 1526-8 The shimmering pools that lay beneath the mountains of Ered Wethrin, on the northern borders of Beleriand, from which the torrent of the River Narog flowed. They were famous for their beauty, and for the power of Ulmo that protected them. Some twenty years after the Return of the Noldor to Middle-earth, their Feast of Reuniting - the Mereth Aderthad - was held on the banks of Ivrin's pools, and centuries later their healing waters brought Túrin back from madness. Glaurung the Dragon came to Ivrin as he travelled to attack Nargothrond, defiling the waters as he passed to leave a region of frozen swampland. Notes 1 The meaning of the name Ivrin is nowhere explained, and nor does it have a clear etymology. It may be related to the very old word ivrin meaning 'fertile' from the earliest phases of Tolkien's works. The lands around the Pools were described as being 'green and fair' (Quenta Silmarillion 13, Of the Return of the Noldor) so this connection is a plausible possibility, though hardly established beyond doubt.
