2. Turin and his band are led to Amon Rudh
"On the next day they set out thither, following Mim to Amon Rudh. Now that hill stood upon the edge of the moorlands... And as the men of Turin'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""

As with so much of Tolkien's writing, the land itself is prominently descibed throughout The Silmarillion, and teh moment when Turin and his company first see their future stronghold in "Turin and his band are led to Amon Rudh" seemed a fitting opportunity to portray something of the primeval norhtern splendour of Beleriand.
