In briefanswer capsule

The Brithiach is a Sirion crossing north of Brethil. Aredhel, after leaving Gondolin, reached it with the lords Turgon had set over her. Against his charge that she seek Fingon in Hithlum, she bade them turn south, wishing rather for her old friends among Fëanor's sons. Doriath's march-guards refused passage through Thingol's land and named an eastern path from the Brithiach by Dimbar along that realm's northern edge, beyond Melian's Girdle.
