In briefanswer capsule

Sirion is the mighty river of Beleriand. It rises in the highlands of the north — Dorthonion and the mountains about Hithlum — and runs south the length of the land into the Bay of Balar. Its course divides Beleriand in two, and nearly every realm of the Elder Days is described by its position east or west of it; at its mouths stood the last free haven after the fall of Gondolin.
