The House of Hador dwelt in Dor-Lomin, given to them by Fingolfin. The House of Haleth lived in the forest of Brethil. The house of Beor in Estolad and Dorthonian, although Beor moved to Nargothrond Of course these locations were subject to change

Here is some info on the three houses before they went to Beleriand.

The first recording of the Beorians (House of Beor), was when they dwelt on the south-west shores of the sea of Rhun, in the forests of that area, on the opposite side of the sea of Rhun the Marachians, (House of Hador, Marach being the person who led them into Beleriand) who dwelt in the mountains of the north-east. (Look at you map of M-E and you will see the sea of Rhun) Though they kept in touch, though the distance was some 200 miles. They then migrated together, until they reached Eriador, when a small part of the Beorians and later a small part of each house crossed over into Beleriand. The Beorians were said to have dark hair, and be most like to the Noldor then any other house, and many had swarthy or dark skin, due to interaction with other men.

The house of Hador was by far the greatest house, and their info has been given with the Beorians. They had blonde hair, and were the most numerous and powerful of all the houses of the Edain.

Before their migration to Beleriand, the Haladin (House of Haleth) crossed the Anduin and went south, meeting the Druedain and they excavated north, (though most of the Druedain remained in the white mountains or somewhere in the south of M-E or Enedwaith) and they went to Eriador, before meeting the other two houses and some passed into Beleriand. They were short and stocky (well-built) and lived in the forests. They had gold or brown hair, and some even had a darker or ‘swarthier’ if you like complexion.

Hope the information was of some help to you!
