![]() I just started the Akallabeth in the Silmarillion and I was wondering where Beleriand is located at in comparison to Eriador, Gondor, Mordor etc..?

You should get the atlas of middle-earth by Karyn Winn Fonstad. (I'm really not sure if that's the author's name. That's what it sounds like in my mind.)

I think there's a map in the Silmarillion. You can put this map with the LOTR map, (there are few parts in the both of the maps - as Ered Lindon) and see where's Beleriand comparing to Mordor.
You can look for maps in the internet too. |

It took me some time to compare the map ot the Silmarillion and the one of LotR. But finally I got the clue.

Yeah, I didn't get it at first either. It doesn't help that there are two Minas Tiriths. Luckily I had help from someone on Entmoot.

I think the differences in the two maps (if I remember correctly) are due to things that Melkor does to the Earth. Or maybe I'm wrong b/c I can't seem to find it anywhere.

It will make sense when you reach the end of the book. See the hill of Himring in north-east Beleriand? and find the isle of Himling off the north-west coast of Middle Earth, west of Ered Luin; they're the same thing at different times.

I really don't like the maps in the english version of LotR, the maps in the german version are bigger and I like the much more. They are easier to "read".

In the hebrew version the maps are better too. I don't know why. Maybe they are more easier to read... the books, themsleves, looks better. With better papers and all. and the handwrite is more clear.
