Aug 6, 2016 at 23:55 comment added Jason Baker @chepner Yeah, Utumno moved around quite a bit in Tolkien's conception, which is why I didn't want to categorically refute the suggestion (in some versions it actually occupies the same location as Angband)
Aug 6, 2016 at 23:06 comment added chepner That "castle" is the three peaks of Thangorodrim, above Angband. I picture Utumno to be further north, too; the second map of this answer to the same question shows Utumno further to the east, though, at the northern edge of what would become Eriador.
Aug 5, 2016 at 22:46 comment added Jason Baker @DaaaahWhoosh Interesting theory, but it's very unlikely. Consider the maps in this answer. Utumno was rather far north, and is either the black castle at the very top of the last map there, or is farther north still. Zirakzigil was in the Misty Mountains, in about the middle of the second map. Those two maps share an edge at the Ered Luin
Aug 5, 2016 at 22:30 comment added DaaaahWhoosh Hmm, I'm wondering now, could the cavern Gandalf and the Balrog fell into have been one of these undiscovered caverns of Utumno? That'd explain why the Balrog was there in the first place.
