The wars had actually begun during the [[Years of the Trees]], but began again with renewed fury after the arrival of the Ñoldor in Beleriand. There had been [[elves]] in Beleriand for uncounted millennia, but they sought merely to exist, and Morgoth had little to do with them. The Noldor, on the other hand, particularly the [[Sons of Fëanor]], had come with the express purpose of defeating Morgoth. |

⚫ | The [[Dagor Aglareb]] was fought about seventy-five years after the return of the Ñoldor. Morgoth again attacked the Ñoldor, and (again) with no success. The Ñoldor became so bold as to besiege Angband. However, the Siege was of limited effectiveness, because the northern side of Angband was on the north side of the [[Ered Engrin]], and was unapproachable. |
||
+ | |||
⚫ | * The [[Dagor Bragollach]] began when Morgoth poured rivers of fire out of Angband, ruining the besieging Ñoldorin armies. The Ñoldor eventually mustered a defense, but their losses were severe. For instance, the green plain of [[Ard-galen]] had been permanently laid waste by the rivers of fire, and was now called ''Anfauglith'', the Choking Dust; and the highlands of [[Dorthonion]], which had been inhabited by Edain, were made inhospitable. |
||
+ | * The [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]] was the first battle to be initiated by the Ñoldor. They massed an army composed of Elves, Edain, and the houses of [[Bór]] and [[Ulfang]] allied to the Sons of Fëanor. The Elves and their allies advanced very close to Angband, but Morgoth's trickery had upset their battle plan, and Ulfang proved treacherous. The name "Unnumbered Tears" comes from the fact that the Elves' last hope of victory was destroyed. The land of Hithlum was lost, the Sons of Fëanor were largely scattered, and the peoples of Beleriand had been decimated. Morgoth's [[Orcs]] made a heap of the Elven and Mannish dead in the center of Anfauglith. |

The [[Teleri]] refused their aid, due to the [[Kinslaying at Alqualondë]], but consented to ferry the armies of the Valar in their famous [[ship]]s.

History of Arda |
---|
|
Timeline of Arda |
The First Age began with the completion of Valinor, and ended with the overthrow of Morgoth. The First Age was also known as the Elder Days.
It lasted about 3,000 Valian years, and each Valian year is the equivalent of 10 solar years.(making it the longest of the three Ages described by Tolkien), and ended with the final overthrow of Morgoth by the combined armies of Valinor and Beleriand.
Tolkien describes primarily the events that occurred in Beleriand. These were centered on a series of wars waged by the Sindar, the Ñoldor and the Three Houses of the Edain, against the armies of Angband and the evil Men. The wars had actually begun during the Years of the Trees, but began again with renewed fury after the arrival of the Ñoldor in Beleriand. There had been elves in Beleriand for uncounted millennia, but they sought merely to exist, and Morgoth had little to do with them. The Noldor, on the other hand, particularly the Sons of Fëanor, had come with the express purpose of defeating Morgoth.
