In briefanswer capsule

Thargelion covers the wide territory from Gelion to the mountain wall, spanning from Rerir south to Ascar. Noldorin speech took it as Land beyond Gelion; Dor Caranthir, Caranthir’s realm, was the other title. His seat stood by Lake Helevorn—deep, dark, shut in by Rerir and Ered Lindon except to the south. His people strengthened the heights east of Maglor’s Gap. Here the Noldor first met Dwarves. Grey-elves had earlier used Talath Rhúnen, East Vale.
