In briefanswer capsule

Long before, Melkor built the Iron Mountains, Ered Engrin, to shield Utumno far in the north. The range ran in a wide bow east to west beside realms of unbroken frost. Where its western arm swung northward he later founded Angband to guard against Valinor. A vast passage under the peaks opened to the south, crowned by a strong portal; behind and above it rose Thangorodrim, heaped from ash.
