Angband morgoth5/16/2023 ![]() ![]() Morgoth marshaled the entirety of his forces, which had by this point grown so vast that Anfauglith could not contain their numbers. The great force of Aman marched across Beleriand and met the armies of Morgoth in the plains of Anfauglith. As such, they sent only what mariners were needed to crew the ships, and none of them set foot on Middle-earth once they arrived. The Teleri of Alqualondë granted the use of their ships to ferry the hosts of Aman to Middle-earth, but they remembered still the Kinslaying of their people long ago and harbored much bitterness over it. Along with the Vanyar and the remaining Ñoldor in Aman, the host of the Valar came to Middle-earth in the mightiest gathering of arms in the history of Arda. There, he begged the Valar to pardon and aid the overmatched peoples of Middle-earth.ĭespite having pledged to leave the Ñoldor to reap the bitter harvest of their folly in pursuing Morgoth, Manwë was moved by Eärendil's plea. In this time of need, the mariner Eärendil, by the guidance of a Silmaril which he wore on his forehead, searched for and came to Valinor on behalf of Elves and Men. To make matters worse, and to the great amusement of Morgoth, the Sons of Fëanor, seeking the Silmaril of Beren and Lúthien, had launched two brutal Kinslayings in which they had destroyed both Doriath and the Havens of Sirion. Morgoth was now master of nearly all of Beleriand, save for the havens in Arvernien, which he gave little heed to. The effort of Elves, Men, and Dwarves to resist him had failed, and all the great Elf kingdoms had been overthrown. By the early sixth century of the First Age, Morgoth's dominion had been completely uncontested in Middle-earth. ![]()
