Thus
it
was
that
when
Nahar
neighed
and
Orome
indeed
came
among
them
,
some
of
the
Quendi
hid
themselves
,
and
some
fled
and
were
lost
.
But
those
that
had
courage
,
and
stayed
,
perceived
swiftly
that
the
Great
Rider
was
no
shape
out
of
darkness
;
for
the
light
of
Aman
was
in
his
face
,
and
all
the
noblest
of
the
Elves
were
drawn
towards
it
.
82
But
of
those
unhappy
ones
who
were
ensnared
by
Melkor
little
is
known
of
a
certainty
.
For
who
of
the
living
has
descended
into
the
pits
of
Utumno
,
or
has
explored
the
darkness
of
the
counsels
of
Melkor
?
Yet
this
is
held
true
by
the
wise
of
Eressea
,
that
all
those
of
the
Quendi
who
came
into
the
hands
of
Melkor
,
ere
Utumno
was
broken
,
were
put
there
in
prison
,
and
by
slow
arts
of
cruelty
were
corrupted
and
enslaved
;
and
thus
did
Melkor
breed
the
hideous
race
of
the
Orcs
in
envy
and
mockery
of
the
Elves
,
of
whom
they
were
afterwards
the
bitterest
foes
.
83
For
the
Orcs
had
life
and
multiplied
after
the
manner
of
the
Children
of
Iluvatar
;
and
naught
that
had
life
of
its
own
,
nor
the
semblance
of
life
,
could
ever
Melkor
make
since
his
rebellion
in
the
Ainulindale
before
the
Beginning
:
so
say
the
wise
.
And
deep
in
their
dark
hearts
the
Orcs
loathed
the
Master
whom
they
served
in
fear
,
the
maker
only
of
their
misery
.
This
it
may
be
was
the
vilest
deed
of
Melkor
,
and
the
most
hateful
to
Iluvatar
.

Orome
tarried
a
while
among
the
Quendi
,
and
then
swiftly
he
rode
back
over
land
and
sea
to
Valinor
and
brought
the
tidings
to
Valmar
;
and
he
spoke
of
the
shadows
that
troubled
Cuivienen
.
Then
the
Valar
rejoiced
,
and
yet
they
were
in
doubt
amid
their
joy
;
and
they
debated
long
what
counsel
it
were
best
to
take
for
the
guarding
of
the
Quendi
from
the
shadow
of
Melkor
.
But
Orome
returned
at
once
to
Middle
-
earth
and
abode
with
the
Elves
.
85
Manwe
sat
long
in
thought
upon
Taniquetil
,
and
he
sought
the
counsel
of
Iluvatar
.
And
coming
then
down
to
Valmar
he
summoned
the
Valar
to
the
Ring
of
Doom
,
and
thither
came
even
Ulmo
from
the
Outer
Sea
.
86
Then
Manwe
said
to
the
Valar
:
This
is
the
counsel
of
Iluvatar
in
my
heart
:
that
we
should
take
up
again
the
mastery
of
Arda
,
at
whatsoever
cost
,
and
deliver
the
Quendi
from
the
shadow
of
Melkor
.
Then
Tulkas
was
glad
;
but
Aule
was
grieved
,
foreboding
the
hurts
of
the
world
that
must
come
of
that
strife
.
But
the
Valar
made
ready
and
came
forth
from
Aman
in
strength
of
war
,
resolving
to
assault
the
fortresses
of
Melkor
and
make
an
end
.
Never
did
Melkor
forget
that
this
war
was
made
for
the
sake
of
the
Elves
,
and
that
they
were
the
cause
of
his
downfall
.
Yet
they
had
no
part
in
those
deeds
,
and
they
know
little
of
the
riding
of
the
might
of
the
West
against
the
North
in
the
beginning
of
their
days
.
87
Melkor
met
the
onset
of
the
Valar
in
the
North
-
west
of
Middle
-
earth
,
and
all
that
region
was
much
broken
.
But
the
first
victory
of
the
hosts
of
the
West
was
swift
,
and
the
servants
of
Melkor
fled
before
them
to
Utumno
.
Then
the
Valar
passed
over
Middle
-
earth
,
and
they
set
a
guard
over
Cuivienen
;
and
thereafter
the
Quendi
knew
nothing
of
the
great
Battle
of
the
Powers
,
save
that
the
Earth
shook
and
groaned
beneath
them
,
and
the
waters
were
moved
,
and
in
the
north
there
were
lights
as
of
mighty
fires
.
Long
and
grievous
was
the
siege
of
Utumno
,
and
many
battles
were
fought
before
its
gates
of
which
naught
but
the
rumour
is
known
to
the
Elves
.
In
that
time
the
shape
of
Middle
-
earth
was
changed
,
and
the
Great
Sea
that
sundered
it
from
Aman
grew
wide
and
deep
;
and
it
broke
in
upon
the
coasts
and
made
a
deep
gulf
to
the
southward
.
Many
lesser
bays
were
made
between
the
Great
Gulf
and
Helcaraxe
far
in
the
north
,
where
Middle
-
earth
and
Aman
came
nigh
together
.
Of
these
the
Bay
of
Balar
was
the
chief
;
and
into
it
the
mighty
river
Sirion
flowed
down
from
the
new
-
raised
highlands
northwards
:
Dorthonion
,
and
the
mountains
about
Hithlum
.
The
lands
of
the
far
north
were
all
made
desolate
in
those
days
;
for
there
Utumno
was
delved
exceeding
deep
,
and
its
pits
were
filled
with
fires
and
with
great
hosts
of
the
servants
of
Melkor
.

But
at
the
last
the
gates
of
Utumno
were
broken
and
the
halls
unroofed
,
and
Melkor
took
refuge
in
the
uttermost
pit
.
Then
Tulkas
stood
forth
as
champion
of
the
Valar
and
wrestled
with
him
,
and
cast
him
upon
his
face
;
and
he
was
bound
with
the
chain
Angainor
that
Aule
had
wrought
,
and
led
captive
;
and
the
world
had
peace
for
a
long
age
.
89
Nonetheless
the
Valar
did
not
discover
all
the
mighty
vaults
and
caverns
hidden
with
deceit
far
under
the
fortresses
of
Angband
and
Utumno
.
Many
evil
things
still
lingered
there
,
and
others
were
dispersed
and
fled
into
the
dark
and
roamed
in
the
waste
places
of
the
world
,
awaiting
a
more
evil
hour
;
and
Sauron
they
did
not
find
.
90
But
when
the
Battle
was
ended
and
from
the
ruin
of
the
North
great
clouds
arose
and
hid
the
stars
,
the
Valar
drew
Melkor
back
to
Valinor
,
bound
hand
and
foot
,
and
blindfold
;
and
he
was
brought
to
the
Ring
of
Doom
.
There
he
lay
upon
his
face
before
the
feet
of
Manwe
and
sued
for
pardon
;
but
his
prayer
was
denied
,
and
he
was
cast
into
prison
in
the
fastness
of
Mandos
,
whence
none
can
escape
,
neither
Vala
,
nor
Elf
,
nor
mortal
Man
.
Vast
and
strong
are
those
halls
,
and
they
were
built
in
the
west
of
the
land
of
Aman
.
There
was
Melkor
doomed
to
abide
for
three
ages
long
,
before
his
cause
should
be
tried
anew
,
or
he
should
plead
again
for
pardon
.
