Menegroth, the Thousand Caves, was the hidden underground stronghold of King Thingol and Queen Melian, delved into the banks of the River Esgalduin at the heart of Doriath with aid from Dwarves of Nogrod and Belegost. Its halls were adorned with carved pillars like trees and images recalling Valinor, making it the fairest dwelling of the Elves east of the Sea. For long ages it stood as the seat of Thingol's realm and a refuge for many who fled the wars of Beleriand.
