Menegroth
In
J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional world of
Middle-earth,
Menegroth, the 'Thousand Caves', was the city in the land of
Doriath which was home to king
Thingol and queen
Melian of the
Sindarin people. It was there that
Thingol was slain by the Dwarven craftsmen of
Nogrod. It was later sacked by the sons of Fëanor in pursuit of the one of the
Silmarils to have left
Morgoth's iron crown prior to the
War of Wrath.
