The battle began when the Ņoldor of Fëanor had arrived unexpectently at the Firth of Drengist, and passed through the Gate of the Ņoldor into Hithlum. They encamped on the northern shore of Lake Mithrim.
Morgoth hoped to destroy the Ņoldor before they could establish themselves, and sent his forces through the passes of the Ered Wethrin. Although the Orcs of Morgoth by far outnumbered the Ņoldor, the Ņoldor were still empowered with the Light of Valinor, and quickly defeated them. The Orcs retreated north through Ard-Galen, with the Ņoldor in hot pursuit.The forces of Morgoth that had been besieging the Havens of the Falas since the First Battle of Beleriand marched north to attack the Ņoldor in the rear, but a taskforce led by Celegorm ambushed them at Eithel Sirion . Trapped between the two Ņoldorin forces, the Orcs fought unendingly for ten days, encircled at the Fens of SerechTolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, the Fens of Serech were a series of marshes in the Pass of Sirion where many Battles of Beleriand saw much warfare. Formed by the confluence of the rivers Sirion and Rivil, the Fens were trapped in a wedge for. All but a few Orcs perished, and Fëanor in his wrath pursued even this small group. The tables turned at the edge of Dor DaedelothTolkien's fictional realm of Middle-earth, Dor Daedeloth was the land of Morgoth. Dor Daedeloth, or Land of the Shadow of Dread lay around the fortress of Angband and on both sides of the Ered Engrin. It was here that the Orcs and other creatures of Morgo, as BalrogThis article deals with J. Tolkien's Balrogs. For more Balrogs see Balrog (disambiguation Balrogs are fictional demon-like creatures from J. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. Balrogs briefly A Balrog ( Sindarin for "Demon of Might"; the Quenya form is Vs poured forth from ThangorodrimIn the fiction of J. Tolkien, Thangorodrim ("oppression mountain group") was a group of three volcanic mountains in the Iron Mountains in the north of Middle-earth during the First Age. The highest peaks of Middle-earth, they were raised by Morgoth, who d. Fëanor stood his ground and long fought alone, until he finally fell. Then the armies of his sons reached him, and the Orcs and Balrogs retreated. Fëanor died in sight of AngbandSee Angband (game) for the computer game. Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-earth, Angband ( Sindarin for 'Hells of Iron') is the name of the fortress of Morgoth, constructed before the First Age of the Sun, located in the Iron Mountains north of Beleri, thrice cursing Morgoth.
Immediately following this the MoonIn the fiction of J. Tolkien, the moon of Middle-earth was created by the Vala Aule. A vessel was made, by him and his people, to hold the radience of the last flower of Telperion, the elder of the Two Trees of Valinor. The Maia Tilion was chosen to guide rose, and with the rising of the Moon FingolfinIn the fiction of J. Tolkien, Fingolfin was a High King of the Noldor in Beleriand, eldest son of Finwe and Indis, younger brother of Findis, older brother of Irime and Finarfin, and the younger half-brother of Feanor. His wife was Anaire and his children and the second, greater Host of the Ņoldor arrived in Lhammoth . There they were attacked by Orcs which had been sent there by Morgoth to attack Fëanor in the rear, and they fought their first battle, the Battle of Lhammoth. The Ņoldor were caught off-guard, and Fingolfin's son ArgonIn the fiction of J. Tolkien, Argon was the fourth child of Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor in Beleriand. His mother was Anaire, and his brothers were Fingon, and Turgon. He had an older sister, Aredhel. His Quenya name was Arakano ("High Commander"), was slain. Fingolfin and his host pursued the Orcs until they were completely destroyed, and then passed into Mithrim as the Moon first rose.
It was thus a bittersweet victory for the Ņoldor, as they had destroyed most of Morgoth's forces in one strike, but their greatest leader had been mortally wounded, and they had lost one of their princes.
