In briefanswer capsule

After leaving Mithrim the sons of Fëanor settled east of Aros in the open country about the Hill of Himring. That region was thereafter called the March of Maedhros: northward it offered little natural barrier against Angband. There they kept watch and took in such folk as came. Maedhros chose the exposed post to curb strife among the Noldor and to bear the main risk himself, while still seeking counsel at need with the houses of Fingolfin and Finarfin.
