In the fiction of
J. R. R. Tolkien,
Falas ("Coast") was an area on the west coast of
Beleriand, south of
Nevrast[?]. The
River Brithon[?] and the
River Nenning[?] ran into the sea here.
Sindarin Elves ruled by
Cirdan[?] dwelt here, and built the havens of
Brithombar[?] and
Eglarest[?]. In F.A. 65,
Finrod built the tower of
Barad Nimras ("White Horn Tower") on a cape of the Falas between Brithombar and Eglarest, to watch for attacks from the sea by
Morgoth.
Falas only occasionally enters into the events of the First Age; in the First Battle[?] of Beleriand, Morgoth's host overrun Falas and besieged the two havens, but raised the siege in order to join in the Second Battle. Thereafter the Falas was generally a safe area.
