At last, [[Annael]] determined to leave Androth, planning to lead his people into the south, to the [[Havens]] at the [[Mouths of Sirion]]. His plan was foiled when the [[Easterlings]] attacked and defeated the [[Elves]], and took [[Tuor]] into servitude. After three years, he escaped, and fled back to his old home in the caves of Androth, which were now deserted and empty. He lived there alone as an outlaw for four more years, but at last he left the caves of Androth behind him, and set out westwards across [[Dor-lómin]] to meet his destiny.
