Lands of Beleriand (Atlas of Beleriand - Map 1)
The map shows the realms and territories of Beleriand, the land where the events of the Silmarillion took place. Different colors indicate the principal elf clans (cyan/green/red : Ñoldor, grey : Sindar). Toponyms are given in Sindarin by default, but a letter inside brackets indicates a name in another tongue, if it exists (S : Sindarin, Q : Quenya, D : Doriathrin).

About the Atlas of Beleriand
This Atlas is a serie of ten maps (and more !) concerning geography, history and geopolitics of Beleriand, which is a territory of the famous Legendarium of J.R.R. Tolkien, including the Silmarillion.A plentyful atlas was published previously by Karen W. Fonstad but it is not dedicated specifically to the First Age.
This map was firstly created to illustrate an essay (in french) dedicated to explore the geopolitics in Beleriand published on the website JRRvf. The map was then updated and released on Deviantart.
