The
Men
of
that
house
were
dark
or
brown
of
hair
,
with
grey
eyes
;
and
of
all
Men
they
were
most
like
to
the
Noldor
and
most
loved
by
them
;
for
they
were
eager
of
mind
,
cunning
-
handed
,
swift
in
understanding
,
long
in
memory
,
and
they
were
moved
sooner
to
pity
than
to
laughter
.
Like
to
them
were
the
woodland
folk
of
Haleth
,
but
they
were
of
lesser
stature
,
and
less
eager
for
lore
.
They
used
few
words
,
and
did
not
love
great
concourse
of
men
;
and
many
among
them
delighted
in
solitude
,
wandering
free
in
the
greenwoods
while
the
wonder
of
the
lands
of
the
Eldar
was
new
upon
them
.
But
in
the
realms
of
the
West
their
time
was
brief
and
their
days
unhappy
.
542
The
years
of
the
Edain
were
lengthened
,
according
to
the
reckoning
of
Men
,
after
their
coming
to
Beleriand
;
but
at
last
Beor
the
Old
died
when
he
had
lived
three
and
ninety
years
,
for
four
and
forty
of
which
he
had
served
King
Felagund
.
And
when
he
lay
dead
,
of
no
wound
or
grief
,
but
stricken
by
age
,
the
Eldar
saw
for
the
first
time
the
swift
waning
of
the
life
of
Men
,
and
the
death
of
weariness
which
they
knew
not
in
themselves
;
and
they
grieved
greatly
for
the
loss
of
their
friends
.
But
Beor
at
the
last
had
relinquished
his
life
willingly
and
passed
in
peace
;
and
the
Eldar
wondered
much
at
the
strange
fate
of
Men
,
for
in
all
their
lore
there
was
no
account
of
it
,
and
its
end
was
hidden
from
them
543
Nonetheless
the
Edain
of
old
learned
swiftly
of
the
Eldar
all
such
art
and
knowledge
as
they
could
receive
,
and
their
sons
increased
in
wisdom
and
skill
,
until
they
far
surpassed
all
others
of
Mankind
,
who
dwelt
still
east
of
the
mountains
and
had
not
seen
the
Eldar
,
nor
looked
upon
the
faces
that
had
beheld
the
Light
of
Valinor
.

Now
Fingolfin
,
King
of
the
North
,
and
High
King
of
the
Noldor
,
seeing
that
his
people
were
become
numerous
and
strong
,
and
that
the
Men
allied
to
them
were
many
and
valiant
,
pondered
once
more
an
assault
upon
Angband
;
for
he
knew
that
they
lived
in
danger
while
the
circle
of
the
siege
was
incomplete
,
and
Morgoth
was
free
to
labour
in
his
deep
mines
,
devising
what
evils
none
could
foretell
ere
he
should
reveal
them
.
This
counsel
was
wise
according
to
the
measure
of
his
knowledge
;
for
the
Noldor
did
not
yet
comprehend
the
fullness
of
the
power
of
Morgoth
,
nor
understand
that
their
unaided
war
upon
him
was
without
final
hope
,
whether
they
hasted
or
delayed
.
But
because
the
land
was
fair
and
their
kingdoms
wide
,
most
of
the
Noldor
were
content
with
things
as
they
were
,
trusting
them
to
last
,
and
slow
to
begin
an
assault
in
which
many
must
surely
perish
were
it
in
victory
or
in
defeat
Therefore
they
were
little
disposed
to
hearken
to
Fingolfin
,
and
the
sons
of
Feanor
at
that
time
least
of
all
.
Among
the
chieftains
of
the
Noldor
Angrod
and
Aegnor
alone
were
of
like
mind
with
the
King
;
for
they
dwelt
in
regions
whence
Thangorodrim
could
be
descried
,
and
the
threat
of
Morgoth
was
present
to
their
thought
.
Thus
the
designs
of
Fingolfin
came
to
naught
,
and
the
land
had
peace
yet
for
a
while
.
545
But
when
the
sixth
generation
of
Men
after
Beor
and
Marach
were
not
yet
come
to
full
manhood
,
it
being
then
four
hundred
years
and
five
and
fifty
since
the
coming
of
Fingolfin
,
the
evil
befell
that
he
had
long
dreaded
,
and
yet
more
dire
and
sudden
than
his
darkest
fear
.
For
Morgoth
had
long
prepared
his
force
in
secret
,
while
ever
the
malice
of
his
heart
grew
greater
,
and
his
hatred
of
the
Noldor
more
bitter
;
and
he
desired
not
only
to
end
his
foes
but
to
destroy
also
and
defile
the
lands
that
they
had
taken
and
made
fair
.
And
it
is
said
that
his
hate
overcame
his
counsel
,
so
that
if
he
had
but
endured
to
wait
longer
,
until
his
designs
were
full
,
then
the
Noldor
would
have
perished
utterly
.
But
on
his
part
he
esteemed
too
lightly
the
valour
of
the
Elves
,
and
of
Men
he
took
yet
no
account
.
546
There
came
a
time
of
winter
,
when
night
was
dark
and
without
moon
;
and
the
wide
plain
of
Ard
-
galen
stretched
dim
beneath
the
cold
stars
,
from
the
hill
-
forts
of
the
Noldor
to
the
feet
of
Thangorodrim
.
The
watch
-
fires
burned
low
,
and
the
guards
were
few
;
on
the
plain
few
were
waking
in
the
camps
of
the
horsemen
of
Hithlum
.
Then
suddenly
Morgoth
sent
forth
great
rivers
of
flame
that
ran
down
swifter
than
Balrogs
from
Thangorodrim
,
and
poured
over
all
the
plain
;
and
the
Mountains
of
Iron
belched
forth
fires
of
many
poisonous
hues
,
and
the
fume
of
them
stank
upon
the
air
,
and
was
deadly
.
Thus
Ard
-
galen
perished
,
and
fire
devoured
its
grasses
;
and
it
became
a
burned
and
desolate
waste
,
full
of
a
choking
dust
,
barren
and
lifeless
.
547
Thereafter
its
name
was
changed
,
and
it
was
called
Anfauglith
,
the
Gasping
Dust
Many
charred
bones
had
there
their
roofless
grave
;
for
many
of
the
Noldor
perished
in
that
burning
,
who
were
caught
by
the
running
flame
and
could
not
fly
to
the
hills
.
The
heights
of
Dorthonion
and
Ered
Wethrin
held
back
the
fiery
torrents
,
but
their
woods
upon
the
slopes
that
looked
towards
Angband
were
all
kindled
,
and
the
smoke
wrought
confusion
among
the
defenders
.
Thus
began
the
fourth
of
the
great
battles
,
Dagor
Bragollach
,
the
Battle
of
Sudden
Flame
.

In
the
front
of
that
fire
came
Glaurung
the
golden
,
father
of
dragons
,
in
his
full
might
;
and
in
his
train
were
Balrogs
,
and
behind
them
came
the
black
armies
of
the
Orcs
in
multitudes
such
as
the
Noldor
had
never
before
seen
or
imagined
.
And
they
assaulted
the
fortresses
of
the
Noldor
,
and
broke
the
leaguer
about
Angband
,
and
slew
wherever
they
found
them
the
Noldor
and
their
allies
.
Grey
-
elves
and
Men
.
Many
of
the
stoutest
of
the
foes
of
Morgoth
were
destroyed
in
the
first
days
of
that
war
,
bewildered
and
dispersed
and
unable
to
muster
their
strength
.
War
ceased
not
wholly
ever
again
in
Beleriand
;
but
the
Battle
of
Sudden
Flame
is
held
to
have
ended
with
the
coming
of
spring
,
when
the
onslaught
of
Morgoth
grew
less
.
549
Thus
ended
the
Siege
of
Angband
;
and
the
foes
of
Morgoth
were
scattered
and
sundered
one
from
another
.
550
The
most
part
of
the
Grey
-
elves
fled
south
and
forsook
the
northern
war
;
many
were
received
into
Doriath
,
and
the
kingdom
and
strength
of
Thingol
grew
greater
in
that
time
,
for
the
power
of
Melian
the
queen
was
woven
about
his
borders
and
evil
could
not
yet
enter
that
hidden
realm
.
Others
took
refuge
in
the
fortresses
by
the
sea
,
and
in
Nargothrond
;
and
some
fled
the
land
and
hid
themselves
in
Ossiriand
,
or
passing
the
mountains
wandered
homeless
in
the
wild
.
And
rumour
of
the
war
and
the
breaking
of
the
siege
reached
the
ears
of
Men
in
the
east
of
Middle
-
earth
.
