In briefanswer capsule

Himring is Maedhros’s hill-fortress west of Maglor’s Gap. After a heavy defeat he settled on that height. From it rises Little Gelion, which meets Greater Gelion coming from Mount Rerir; the joined waters form the river Gelion. That stream runs far south and, though narrower and scantier than Sirion, grows longer before it meets the sea. Six feeders leave the Blue Mountains for it; Ossiriand lies between Gelion and those ranges.
