GULF OF ÛTUM AESTHETICS - [VII] Barl Syrnac

The Barl Syrnac were a western branch of the Iron Mountains, comprising great glaciers and snow capped peaks (the highest peaks reach 5000 meters), raised by Morgoth to protect his fortress of Utumno. These glistening spires protect the more temperate coastal taiga to the east from the harsh winds of Forodwaith. Great evergreen forests cover much of the taiga, especially in the coves and bays of the Sea of Illuin.

The mountains are there rich in minerals, such as clay, granite, sandstone and copper. There are several little bays, taiga plains and forests with a blooming fauna and flora. 

GULF OF ÛTUM AESTHETICS - [II] DYR

The Barl Syrnac range faded into foothills and low mountains north of the Firth of Dyr (Dy."Hudyr") and Forest of Dyr (Dy."Yardyr"), both named for the Dyr River (Dy."Endyr") which originated in the Iron Hills (Dy."Urmkarag"). The Inhabitants were the Dyrians (Dy."Dyrarr", "Mist-Men"), a Tyran speaking people. There's also a big presence of the Blacklocks clan of the dwarves.

The woodland of Dyr is stretched between the western bank of the Ujelsha River, and a spur of the Iron Mountains, the little Nojdä River, which is rich in clay and in copper. Formerly inhabited by the Dyrians, there is still in Dyr some abandoned villages, occasionally occupied by marauders, Lothragh raiders and Orcs.

They inhabit the land of Dyr. The Barl Syrnac range faded into foothills and low mountains north of the Firth of Dyr (Dy."Hudyr") and Forest of Dyr (Dy."Yardyr") both named for the Dyr River (Dy."Endyr") which originated in the Iron hills (Dy."Urmkarag").
