In briefanswer capsule

Hyarmentir stands highest among the lands far south of Taniquetil. Ungoliant climbed rock after rock to its top, then lowered a spun cord ladder so Melkor could join her. From that crest they looked down on the Guarded Realm: Oromë’s forests beneath them, Yavanna’s pastures to the west, and northward a bright plain where Valmar’s silver domes shone as Telperion’s light mingled with Laurelin’s. The Valar kept scant watch there.
