Beleriand and Middle earth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I just feel that with the pairing of both maps of Beleriand and what remains of Middle Earth Beleriand is just to huge. I mean I know Beleriand is was a pretty massive piece of real estate but comparing them like that is just to different. And I was reading past replies on this thread a little more closly and someone said that Nogrod was drowned but Belagost was spared from the drowning of Beleriand (or vise versa I cant remember). But I seem to recall (cant back this one up without my books) that both of those dwarven cities were sunk. And that is when many dwarves left for Moria. I mean Thorin's company was from the Blue Mountains but I would think if they came from Durin's line they would be harbored in a massive Dwarve city like Belegost but Tokien never mentioned it. I hate saying all this without backing myself up but didn't Thorin once say that he was an exile when he lived in the Blue Mountains? I mean sure he was born in Erebor but I mean if there was a massive dwarf city like Belegost of Nogrod still in the blue mountains, I would figure he would feel more at home there. So I guess when what I took a whole lot of writing to say is that I believe the map is wrong, both Belegost and Nogrod got sunk with Beleriand, and Beleriand is big but not that big.
