‘As with so much of Tolkien’s writing, the land itself is prominently described throughout *The Silmarillion*, and the moment when Túrin and his company first see their future stronghold in Túrin and his Band are Led to Amon Rûdh seemed a fitting opportunity to portray something of the primeval northern splendour of Beleriand. “On the next day they set out thither, following Mim to Amon Rûdh. Now that hill stood upon the edge of the moorlands... And as the men of Túrin’s band drew near, the sun westering broke through the clouds, and fell upon the crown; and the seregon was all in flower. Then one among them said: ‘There is blood on the hill-top.’” www.tednasmith.com/lotr… image from https://tolkiengateway.net/w/images/f/fe/Ted_Nasmith_-_T%C3%BArin_and_his_Band_are_Led_to_Amon_R%C3%BBdh.jpg
