Description
'Between Ramdal and Gelion there stood a single hill of great extent and gentle slopes, but seeming mightier than it was, for it stood alone; and that hill was named Amon Ereb. Upon Amon Ereb died Denethor, lord of the Nandor that dwelt in Ossiriand, who marched to the aid of Thingol against Morgoth in those days when the Orcs first came down in force, and broke the starlit peace of Beleriand; and upon that hill Maedhros dwelt after the great defeat.'
JRR Tolkien: The Silmarillion : Chapter 14: Of Beleriand and its Realms

The last Feanorian stronghold in Beleriad, from there they went to Doriath and Sirion.
It looks very lonely, and unfriendly here.
In some maps it looks like Amon Ereb survived the War of Wrath. And was on the western shores of Forlindon.
I'm writing a fanfiction in Polish called "The Last Kinslayers" that's "Ostatni bratobójcy". I started that as a parody of Tauriel/Kili from the movies. That "couple" survived the Battle of the five armies, but their so called romance uproared the whole Elvendom. And who is better to end that perversion than the last kinslayers who dweal somewhere in Forlindon? And Amon Ereb is home of the last feanorian supporters who still live in Middle Earth.

Great landscape. The dark thunderclouds set an intense mood, a sense of foreboding. Very symbolic for this refuge of doomed people, facing a long inevitable defeat.

Not a bad comparison to make, considering the less than savoury deeds committed by these folk ...

You do Tolkien's visions such justice... And a sense of the immense power and tragic doom of the Noldor.

You do your work with a stark honesty of depiction that goes well with the prose.
You're the sort who MIGHT like some of my poetry.

Wonderful landscape. The thundercloud weighing above the castle is such a good touch, as if foreshadowing the fate of this place and its lord(s). I always like your landscape art. It is very atmospheric and full of meanings.
