The One Wiki to Rule Them All

The Siege of Angband was a 400 year-long Ñoldor blockade of Morgoth's forces within his fortress of Angband beginning after the Dagor Aglareb, in the late First Age. Though referred to as a siege, the Elves and Edain were unable to actually assault Angband; they could only battle Morgoth's Orcs when they chose to emerge.

History[]

The encirclement of Angband was incomplete, as Morgoth was still capable of sending out various forces of Orcs to weaken the Ñoldor (such as the attack on Hithlum), mainly from the impassable north flanks of the fortress near the unguarded Iron Mountains. The Ñoldor had grown strong enough, however, and these raiding forces posed no significant threat. But these raids enabled Morgoth to coerce people who were captured to his service, which would later prove disastrous to the Ñoldor and their allies.

Though considered by Fingolfin, the Elves never planned in earnest nor executed an offensive action against Angband. The Elven kingdoms had prospered greatly during the time of the siege, and most were unwilling to engage in a seemingly needless battle that could claim numerous lives of Elves, whether in victory or defeat. The Elves in fact did not have the ability to overthrow Angband, but at the time, Fingolfin did not fully comprehend the power of Morgoth. The Siege was broken by the Dagor Bragollach in FA 455, and no similar leaguer was ever re-attempted.[1]
