In briefanswer capsule

The North Downs are hills in Eriador, seat of Fornost. Elendil, after landing in Lindon and receiving Gil-galad's friendship, founded his realm beyond Ered Luin. His people settled about the Lhûn and the Baranduin; Annúminas by Lake Nenuial was their chief city, and they also lived at Fornost on these downs, in Cardolan, and in the hills of Rhudaur. That northern realm bore the name Arnor.
