In briefanswer capsule

Taur-en-Faroth names the wooded highlands that climb above Nargothrond west of the Narog. Between Sirion and Narog stretches Talath Dirnen, the Guarded Plain; beyond it those heights stand. After quitting Thingol's realm and the fens about the Sirion, Beren saw the far ridge through mist and rain and set out toward it. Nargothrond's elves held constant guard on the plain, with hidden towers and secret archers along its borders.
