In briefanswer capsule

Tarn Aeluin lies in the eastern heights of Dorthonion, where the woods climb into high moorland. Rough heaths ring the lake; no one lived there even during the Long Peace. Daylight showed the water bright and blue; after dark it gave back the starlight. Folk revered it, saying Melian had formed the basin long ago. Barahir and his last twelve companions kept their refuge there without Morgoth discovering them.
