The Vale of Thrain is an area within Ered Luin in the north-western region.

Directly south of Thorin's Gate and north-west of the Low Lands lies this snow-covered vale, and through it runs the main road towards the eastern Ered Luin and beyond. The former road towards south-west now ends at the gate to the Dourhand stronghold of Sarnúr. A recent increase in population of aggressive wildlife such as bears, hendrevail, lynx, and wolves have begun worrying the residents, and worst yet, goblins creep closer from the south.

Noglond is a small dwarf outpost along the road which provides respite from the wilds alongside meager services.
