Nogrod, also known as Tumunzahar by the Eldar and Hollowbold by the Edain, was one of seven of the Ancient Mansions of the Dwarf Fathers.
Nogrod and the nearby realm of Belegost was swallowed by the sea as the lands shifted and the earth was rent assunder during the War of Wrath, ending one of the greatest and most renowned of the Citadels of the Dwarves of old.
