It most commonly referred to the strip of land between Cëlac and Brethan south of [[Lágon]], in the time of [[Years of Turmoil|Olgish Clan Wars]] roughly equivalent to the Olgish sphere of influence, purposefully excluding the [[Genes]] in the [[Ilathw|Ilathw]] plains, the [[Western Sosks|Sosks]] and [[Auls]] in [[Oakshire]], the [[Edhennín]], and [[Morineb]], and the [[Noldorinians]] in the later [[Orinion|Brethanian lands]]. The first full definition of the extent of Belkondíl is given more than a thousand years later in the [[Claims of Enethin]] of E.B. 19 to the land rightfully subject to the [[Crown of Ortûlék]]. According to this claim, Belkondíl contains all area between the Ilathw and [[Besokan]] Rivers, including the islands of [[Corbin]] and the [[Mairn]]. This definition was retained in all sources following [[Enethin|Enethin's]] time, including the [[Lonsorigi]] in their portrayal of [[Early Days|early history]]. | ||
