Beleriand.  Orome used to hunt in the darkness of Beleriand before the
Sun and Moon existed (during the age of the trees in Valinor).
Morgoth's creatures were dominant during that time.  You might also
consider "Middle-Earth."  The two references to Orome in the Tolkien
Companion mention that he was the only one of the Valar to visit
Middle-Earth regularly in the elder days.  KP
