In briefanswer capsule

Ard-galen was a broad plain south of Angband’s gates and north of Dorthonion. Waste and foulness from the fortress first stretched over it for many miles; once the Sun had risen, lush herbage spread across the ground. During the siege, while the gates stayed closed, greenery showed even among the pits and broken stone before the entrance. From the Ered Wethrin, the Shadowy Mountains, the view ran over Ard-galen and the Vale of Sirion.
