'''Thrór''' ({{TA|2542}} – {{TA|2790|n}}, lived 248 years) was King of [[Durin's Folk]] for 201 years, from {{TA|2589|n}} to 2790. He was the eldest son of [[Dáin I]] and brother of [[Grór]] and [[Frór]].<ref name="Durin">{{App|Durin}}</ref>

==History==
After a great [[Cold-drakes|Cold-drake]] killed both his father and brother [[Frór]], the remaining brothers Thrór and [[Grór]] led their people away from the [[Grey Mountains]]. As Dáin's heir Thrór led many [[Dwarves]] back to [[Lonely Mountain]] in {{TA|2590}}<ref name="TA">{{App|TA}}</ref>, where he became [[King under the Mountain]], a title held earlier by his ancestor, [[Thorin I]]. Grór continued east with a great following of Durin's folk to the [[Iron Hills]], where he founded his own [[Dwarves of the Iron Hills|realm]].<ref name="Durin"/>

=== King under the Mountain ===
At Erebor, Thrór and his people re-established the [[Kingdom under the Mountain]] and became very prosperous. Thrór brought the [[Arkenstone]] back to [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]]<ref name="Durin"/> and the hall of feasting and council, the [[Great Chamber of Thrór]],<ref>{{H|Home}}</ref> was named after him.

Thrór and his people gained the friendship of the [[Northmen]] who lived along the river [[River Running|Celduin]]. These people later founded the town of [[Dale]] and had much trade of goods, beautiful trinkets, and weapons with the Dwarves. The [[Dwarves of Erebor]] also had much traffic of ores with their kinsman in the Iron Hills and the region had peace and prosperity for many years.

But in {{TA|2770|n}}<ref name="TA"/> their prosperity ended. The Dragon [[Smaug]] heard of the wealth of Thrór and his people. He flew south from the [[Grey Mountains|Ered Mithrin]] and sacked the Lonely Mountain, killing many Dwarves. From the destruction many escaped, the last of them being Thrór and his son [[Thráin]] from the hidden [[Back Door]]. With a small company of kin and faithful followers they made a great wandering southward, until they reached the hills of [[Dunland]].<ref name="Durin"/>

On a [[Mid-year's Day]] under a broad crescent moon, Thrór created his [[Thrór's Map|map]] of the Lonely Mountain and the [[Desolation of the Dragon]]. In addition to the readily visible features on the map, Thrór added the details about the hidden [[Back Door]] into the Mountain, written in [[Moon-letters]] for secrecy.<ref>{{H|Rest}}</ref>

===Dunland, and the journey to Moria===
In [[Dunland]], his people tried to make a living, but twenty years<ref name="TA"/> after the [[Sack of Erebor]], despondent and homeless, Thrór left his people and went north with a single companion, [[Nár]]. Before leaving, Thrór gave his son [[Thráin|Thráin II]] his [[Ring of Thrór|Ring of Power]], along with the map and key to the Lonely Mountain. Thrór wished to see the fabled city of his ancestors, [[Moria|Khazad-dûm]].

Eventually they made it over the [[Redhorn Pass]] down into [[Azanulbizar]], the Dimrill Dale. Coming to the [[Great Gates|East-gate]] of Moria Thrór found it open. Nár begged him to beware, but ignoring his companion Thrór walked through the gates as the heir who had returned. But he did not come back.<ref name="Durin"/>

===Death===
Nár hid nearby for many days until he saw Thrór's body flung down the steps; his severed head lay face downward on the ground. As he knelt there, Nar saw branded across his forehead in [[Angerthas Moria|Dwarvish runes]] the name [[Azog|AZOG]]. This [[Orcs|Orc]] then threw a small purse of coins at him, calling him a beggar. Nár fled weeping down the [[Celebrant|Silverlode]], while Orcs emerged and hacked Thrór's body into pieces and fed them to the crows.<ref name="Durin"/>

When Nár told Thráin what had happened, he declared war on the Orcs and called all the Seven Houses of the Dwarves together for vengeance. Nine years later in {{TA|2799}}<ref name="TA"/> at the [[Battle of Azanulbizar]], the climax of the [[War of the Dwarves and Orcs]], the death of Thrór was avenged when Azog was beheaded by [[Dáin Ironfoot]]. Thráin took Azog's severed head, shoved the purse of coins into his mouth and then set it on a stake.<ref name="Durin"/>

==Etymology==
[[Jim Allan]] has suggested that the name ''Thrór'' derives from ''Þrór'', a dwarf from the ''[[Völuspá|Dvergatal]]''. According to Allan, ''Þrór'' means "boar", deriving from a root meaning "to expand" (linking the meaning to Thrór's expanding of the "''diggings and wealth of the Lonely Mountain''").<ref>[[Jim Allan]], "Giving of Names", in ''[[An Introduction to Elvish]]'', p. 223</ref>

Tolkien|Tolkien]]'s writings, Thrór is shown as the ruling king at the time of the discovery of the [[Arkenstone]] instead of his ancestor [[Thráin I]]. With this, the film portrays him as believing its discovery as a sign of his divine right to the throne.

:The film also condenses the events after the [[Sack of Erebor]] to show Thrór choosing to try to retake [[Moria]] as the home of his people, but in the process being beheaded in the [[Battle of Azanulbizar]] by [[Azog]].

'''Findis''' was a [[Noldo|Noldorin]] [[Elves|Elf]], the first child and daughter of [[Finwë]], the [[High King of the Noldor]] and [[Indis]], his second wife. Findis' name is a combination of the names of her parents.

During the [[Exile of the Noldor]] she remained with Indis and her younger brother [[Finarfin]] in [[Valinor]], where she apparently dwelt ever since.<ref>{{PM|Shibboleth}}, ''The names of Finwë's descendants''</ref>

== Etymology ==
Her name seems to be a combination of her parents' names and obviously means "hairy woman". See [[Finwë#Etymology|Finwë]] and [[Indis#Etymology|Indis]].{{fact}}

However, when it came time for Tar-Elendi to relinquish the [[Sceptre of Númenor]] it did not pass on to Silmariën or her sister [[Isilmë]]; instead it went to Tar-Elendil's third child [[Tar-Meneldur|Meneldur]].<ref group=note>The royal law of succession at that time (actually an unquestioned inherited custom) stated that the Sceptre was to be inherited by the Ruler's eldest son. In ''[[Aldarion and Erendis]]'' we learn that later, Tar-Meneldur's son [[Tar-Aldarion]] altered the law so that the eldest ''child'' of the King, whether man or woman, would receive the Sceptre. Had this law existed when Tar-Elendil relinquished the Sceptre, Silmariën would have been the first [[Ruling Queen]] and Valandil and his descendants would have been the rulers of Númenor.</ref>

As Silmarien or Valandil could not become Kings of Númenor, Tar-Elendil instead made Valandil the first of the [[Lords of Andúnië]], who ruled the city in [[Andustar]] in western [[Númenor]] and were held in the highest honor after the Kings.<ref>{{UT|IMap}}</ref><ref name="Akallabeth"/> As a ruler of one of the divisions of Númenor Valandil was also a member of the [[Council of the Sceptre]],<ref>{{UT|Wife}}, Note 23</ref> a position that was inherited by his descendants.<ref name="Akallabeth">{{S|Akallabeth}}</ref>

Valandil was a close cousin of [[Tar-Aldarion|Aldarion]] and twice hosted feasts for him in Andúnië, on the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the [[Guild of Venturers]] and again in midsummer of {{SA|870}} when the newly wedded Aldarion and [[Erendis]] visited.<ref name="Wife"/>

In time, one of the descendants of Valandil was [[Elendil]],<ref>{{UT|Kings}}</ref> the first [[High King of the Dúnedain]] in [[Middle-earth]]. Elendil's son was [[Isildur]] and from his line, many generations later, came [[Aragorn]].
==Etymology==
''Valandil'' means "Devoted to the [[Valar]]" in [[Quenya]] (from ''Vala'' and the suffix ''[[-ndil]]'', 'friend of', 'devoted to').

'''Finduilas''' was a [[Noldor|Noldorin]] princess of the [[First Age]], the daughter of [[Orodreth]], ruler of [[Nargothrond]], and a sister of [[Gil-galad]].

== History ==
Finduilas lived in Nargothrond with her father and brother under the rule of [[Finrod|Finrod Felagund]]. She was betrothed to [[Gwindor]], who named her '''[[Faelivrin]]''', which meant "Gleam of the Sun on the [[Pools of Ivrin]]".<ref name="CH10">{{CH|10}}</ref>
[[File:Elena Kukanova - Nargothrond - Turin and Finduilas.jpg|thumb|left|Elena Kukanova - ''Nargothrond - Turin and Finduilas'']]
Her betrothed was captured in {{FA|472}} during the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad|Battle of Unnumbered Tears]] by [[Morgoth]],<ref>{{GA|227}}</ref> but he returned in {{FA|490|n}} with a companion<ref>{{GA|267}}</ref> who called himself ''[[Agarwaen]], son of [[Umarth]]'' ("Bloodstained, son of the Cursed"). Unknown to Finduilas this was actually [[Túrin]] son of [[Húrin]].

Despite her old feelings for Gwindor, who was now mutilated, Finduilas fell in love with noble Túrin who became an influential warrior of Nargothrond. Túrin failed to notice her feelings, she reminding him of [[Lalaith]], the sister he lost in childhood. Gwindor realized that Finduilas had fallen in love with Túrin, and revealed his name to her in an attempt to discourage her pursuit.<ref name="CH10"/>

At the [[Sack of Nargothrond]] by [[Glaurung]], Finduilas was captured. Gwindor was slain after ordering Túrin to protect Finduilas as only she could save him from his fate; however he was entranced by the dragon, and he could not hear Finduilas' cries as she was being dragged past him by the [[Orcs]] as a captive for [[Angband]].<ref>{{CH|11}}</ref>

Due to Glaurung's deceit Túrin abandoned Finduilas and instead went to [[Hithlum]] in search for his kin. When the Orcs were waylaid by the [[Haladin]] of [[Brethil]] at the [[Crossings of Teiglin]] they killed all their captives, pinning Finduilas to a tree with a spear.

By the time Túrin regained his senses, the Haladin buried her in a mound they called ''[[Haudh-en-Elleth]]'' ("Mound of the Elf-maiden").<ref>{{CH|13}}</ref>

== Etymology ==
{{Pronounce|Finduilas.mp3|Ardamir}}
[[Robert Foster]] suggested that Finduilas's name contains the element [[find]] for "hair".<ref>{{HM|Guide}}</ref>. It also contains the element [[tuil]] for spring, and [[las]] for leaf

'''Finduilas''' was a [[Noldor|Noldorin]] princess of the [[First Age]], the daughter of [[Orodreth]], ruler of [[Nargothrond]], and a sister of [[Gil-galad]].

== History ==
Finduilas lived in Nargothrond with her father and brother under the rule of [[Finrod|Finrod Felagund]]. She was betrothed to [[Gwindor]], who named her '''[[Faelivrin]]''', which meant "Gleam of the Sun on the [[Pools of Ivrin]]".<ref name="CH10">{{CH|10}}</ref>

Unknown to Finduilas this was actually [[Túrin]] son of [[Húrin]].

Despite her old feelings for Gwindor, who was now mutilated, Finduilas fell in love with noble Túrin who became an influential warrior of Nargothrond. Túrin failed to notice her feelings, she reminding him of [[Lalaith]], the sister he lost in childhood. Gwindor realized that Finduilas had fallen in love with Túrin, and revealed his name to her in an attempt to discourage her pursuit.<ref name="CH10"/>

At the [[Sack of Nargothrond]] by [[Glaurung]], Finduilas was captured. Gwindor was slain after ordering Túrin to protect Finduilas as only she could save him from his fate; however he was entranced by the dragon, and he could not hear Finduilas' cries as she was being dragged past him by the [[Orcs]] as a captive for [[Angband]].<ref>{{CH|11}}</ref>

Due to Glaurung's deceit Túrin abandoned Finduilas and instead went to [[Hithlum]] in search for his kin. When the Orcs were waylaid by the [[Haladin]] of [[Brethil]] at the [[Crossings of Teiglin]] they killed all their captives, pinning Finduilas to a tree with a spear.

By the time Túrin regained his senses, the Haladin buried her in a mound they called ''[[Haudh-en-Elleth]]'' ("Mound of the Elf-maiden").<ref>{{CH|13}}</ref>

}}The '''Nirnaeth Arnoediad''' or '''Battle of Unnumbered Tears''' was the disastrous Fifth Battle in the [[Wars of Beleriand]]. Its name was taken from the first words of the [[Doom of Mandos]]: "Tears unnumbered ye shall shed..."

== Background ==
{{main|Union of Maedhros}}
In the almost two decades since their defeat in the [[Dagor Bragollach]], the Noldor had lost control over the entire north of Beleriand, and were for the most part reduced to refugees dwelling in [[Hithlum]] and [[Nargothrond]]. [[Gondolin]] was shut up and unknown.

In the year {{FA|473}}, [[Maedhros]] decided that taking the offense against [[Angband]] might help the [[Noldor]] regain their former lands.

=== Opposing Forces and Strategy ===

Under the [[Union of Maedhros]] all the [[Elves]] of Beleriand, as well as the [[Edain]], [[Dwarves]], and the newly arrived [[Easterlings (First Age)|Easterlings]] were invited to combine in arms and fight Morgoth. The Union first cleared Beleriand and Dorthonion of Orcs, and then gathered to assault [[Thangorodrim]].

The plan was for Maedhros's host in the east to assault and draw out the army of Angband, after which Fingon's host would attack from the [[Ered Wethrin]], taking the offensive in the west, crushing Morgoth's forces between them.

Under [[Maedhros]] in the east were gathered the remainder of the [[sons of Fëanor]], the Elves and Men of [[Himring]] under Maedhros and [[Bór]], and the men of Amon Ereb under [[Caranthir]] and [[Ulfang]].

Under [[Fingon]] in the west were gathered the Elves and Men of [[Hithlum]], the Elves of the [[Falas]], the [[Haladin]] of Brethil and the companies sent from [[Nargothrond]] and the two elves of [[Doriath]], [[Beleg]] and [[Mablung]].

Because of the evil deeds of [[Celegorm]] and [[Curufin]], two of Maedhros's brothers, Nargothrond would send only a small company of Elves under [[Gwindor]]. From Doriath, where [[Thingol]] had sworn never to fight beside any son of Fëanor, came only [[Mablung]] and [[Beleg]], who did not wish to remain behind. However, [[Turgon]] unexpectedly came forth with over ten thousand Elves from [[Gondolin]], doubling the force of the west.

== The Battle ==
[[File:Alan Lee - The Battle of Unnumbered Tears.jpg|left|thumb|[[Alan Lee]] - ''The Battle of Unnumbered Tears'']]
But Morgoth through his spies had learned of the battle plan, and his spy [[Ulfang]], who betrayed the Noldor, delayed [[Maedhros]]' attack. A small host of Orcs sallied forth from [[Angband]] to provoke the Western host to attack. Within sight of the [[Ered Wethrin]], Gwindor's brother Gelmir, captured during the Dagor Bragollach, was brought forth, and brutally slain. Enraged, [[Gwindor]] broke ranks and charged along with his men. From their hidden positions in the eastern hills, Fingon's forces suddenly charged along with them. The Orc host was taken by surprise and swiftly defeated, and the sudden charge of Fingon's army nearly foiled Morgoth's plans; the forces of Gwindor and Fingon pushed forth, reaching Angband itself.

Morgoth shook upon this throne as Gwindor's company pounded at his gates above. They burst through, and slew the guards on the steps of Angband itself, though Morgoth had trapped them. They were then ambushed with hidden forces set about Angband; all of Gwindor's company was slain and Gwindor himself was captured. From clandestine gates around Angband thousands of Orcs erupted suddenly, repulsing the host of Fingon from the walls. The Elven army was driven back in great slaughter, and many [[Haladin]] fell fighting in the rearguard.

[[Turgon]], who had withheld his host from the reckless charge, now came upon the Orc host. The phalanx of Turgon broke through the Angband lines, and met with the guard of Fingon.

Finally Maedhros arrived, but before he could make junction with Fingon and Turgon, [[Glaurung]] the dragon and [[Gothmog (balrog)|Gothmog]] lord of [[Balrogs|Balrog]]s intercepted him. Union forces could yet have prevailed, but [[Uldor]], son of Ulfang and a traitor, turned ranks and attacked Maedhros in the rear, while more of his kin came down from the mountains and attacked from the east. [[Maglor]] slew Uldor in single combat, but could not turn the tide of the battle. Under assault from three sides, the eastern host was scattered, and only the valour of the [[Dwarves]] of [[Belegost]] helped them escape, as their lord [[Azaghâl]] and his forces held off Glaurung, allowing the [[sons of Fëanor]] to escape into Ossiriand.

[[Azaghâl]] and his army fought with fierce iron masks on, and they were able to resist the fire far better than any Elf or Man. Then Glaurung trampled Azaghâl beneath his feet, but Azaghâl ran a dagger through Glaurung's stomach, and the dragon fled in pain. Many of Morgoth's forces retreated with him. In a solemn ceremony the Dwarves picked up their fallen leader, abandoning the battle, and marched him home in a great procession. Their wrath was so great that none troubled them.

All this had not helped the western host, who were attacked by many Orcs under Gothmog. Gothmog cut a path to Fingon and fought him in single combat. Fingon fell under his might, and [[Húrin]] begged Turgon to retreat back to Gondolin. [[Huor]] and Húrin and the remaining [[Men of Dor-lómin]] formed a living wall across the [[Fen of Serech]], buying time for Turgon to escape with most of the surviving Elves of the north. Acting as a rearguard, these Men were almost all slain – Huor fell when his eye was pierced by a poisoned arrow. His brother Húrin fought ferociously to buy his allies time to escape, fighting until his axe withered away. Morgoth had ordered him to be taken alive, however; he killed no fewer than seventy Orcs and Trolls before he became pinned under their corpses, and was later taken prisoner by Gothmog.

=== Aftermath and Repercussions ===

[[Image:Jenny Dolfen - Nirnaeth Arnoediad - Unnumbered Tears.jpg|thumb|left|[[Jenny Dolfen]] - ''Nirnaeth Arnoediad - Unnumbered Tears'']]
Morgoth's victory was near complete, as he had destroyed all the people of Hithlum and had scattered the sons of Fëanor away from Himring. Morgoth's Orcs razed all of [[Beleriand]] except for [[Doriath]], which was still protected by the Girdle of [[Melian]], and sacked the havens of the [[Falas]].
[[File:Ted Nasmith - The Hill of Slain.jpg|thumb|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''The Hill of Slain'']]
Morgoth betrayed his servants the [[Easterlings (First Age)|Easterlings]], shutting them in [[Hithlum]] under penalty of death, and denied to them the fertile lands of [[Beleriand]]. Morgoth's destruction was not entirely complete, however, for Turgon, now High King of the Ñoldor after the death of Fingon, had evaded capture, and his city Gondolin was still unknown to Morgoth. While the Union's attack inflicted fairly heavy losses on Morgoth's forces, this was largely irrelevant compared to how utterly Morgoth had broken the power of so many of his enemies in the battle. His armies would take time to regain their former strength, however, and thus he remained dormant once more for some time, seeking out the hidden city of Gondolin and the last bastion of his enemies. Gwindor himself was one of few prominent survivors of the battle, and was enslaved in Morgoth's mines for fourteen years before finally escaping. He returned and warned the [[King of Nargothrond]] that [[Ulmo]] had advised against fighting open war with Morgoth; the King did not heed his advice, however, and at the [[Battle of Tumhalad]], followed by the [[Sack of Nargothrond]], the Elves there were completely eradicated.

The Ñoldor ultimately recovered from the battle, but remained hidden within Gondolin away from Morgoth's wrath, where they stayed clandestine and defensively rebuilt their forces. It wasn't until some 38 years after Nirnaeth Arnoediad that Morgoth obtained the location of Gondolin, and [[Fall of Gondolin|besieged it]] in order to finalize his annihilation of the Ñoldor and to cement his domination of Middle-earth.

Morgoth had personally laid waste to Ard-galen, turning it into a dust-choked wasteland of fire and poisonous gas, known from then on as [[Anfauglith]]. It was here that many Elves and Men were slain and thrown into great piles on a hill in the midst of the desolate landscape; referred to as the [[Hill of Slain]] by the Elves, grass grew on that hill long after the battle but nowhere else in Anfauglith.

==Etymology==
''Nirnaeth ''(or ''Nírnaeth'')'' Arnoediad ''(or ''Arnediad'') is [[Sindarin]] for "Tears Uncountable".<ref>{{WJ|Index}}</ref><ref>{{S|Index}}</ref>

Note that the "oe" of "Arnoediad" is not the Sindarin diphthong "oe", but rather the single [[i-affection|umlaut]] vowel "œ", better represented with a digraph.<ref>{{LR|Etymologies}}</ref>

'''Bór the Faithful''' (died {{FA|472}}) was a leader of a tribe of [[Easterlings (First Age)|Easterlings]] during the [[First Age]].

== History ==
Bór's people came into [[Beleriand]] after the [[Dagor Bragollach]]. He and his sons [[Borlad]], [[Borlach]], and [[Borthand]] swore allegiance to [[Maedhros]] and [[Maglor]].<ref>{{S|18}}</ref> He was one of the few leaders of the Eastern Tribes of Men to remain faithful to the Eldar during the [[Nírnaeth Arnoediad]] (Battle of Unnumbered Tears). This loyalty came at the cost of his life. The elves, grateful for his loyalty, posthumously awarded him the title "Faithful".

== Etymology ==
The name ''Bór'' is [[Noldorin]], given by the Elves because of his loyalty to them.<ref>{{LR|Etymologies}}, root BOR-</ref>

'''Avathar''' or '''Avaþar''' ([[Vanyarin]] [[Quenya|Q]], pron. {{IPA|[ˈaβaθar]}}) was the land in the south-eastern part of [[Aman]], south of [[Valinor]]. It formed a dark strip of land at the feet of the [[Pelóri]] Mountains. It seems to have been totally deserted and forgotten and in ancient times [[Ungoliant]] made her home there.<ref>{{S|Darkening}}</ref>
==Etymology==
In "The Later [[Quenta Silmarillion]]" section of ''[[Morgoth's Ring]]'', [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] translates Avathar as "The Shadows" in "ancient" [[Quenya]];<ref>{{MR|P3II7}}, p. 284</ref> this translation also appears in ''[[The Silmarillion]]''.<ref>{{S|Index}}, ''Avathar''</ref>

However, in the "[[Quendi and Eldar]]", Tolkien states that Avathar has no [[Elvish]] translation, meaning that it must have been adapted from its [[Valarin]] name<ref>{{WJ|AD1}}, p. 404</ref> (however, in the Index to that book it still says "The Shadows" in a short description<ref>{{WJ|Index}}</ref>).
==Other versions of the legendarium==
In early versions of ''[[The Silmarillion]]'', the region where Ungoliant dwelt prior to the Darkening of Valinor was called ''Arvalin''.<ref>{{GA|105}}</ref>

'''Ciryatur''' was the commander of the [[Númenóreans|Númenórean]] fleet sent to aid [[Gil-galad]] in the [[War of the Elves and Sauron]]. In {{SA|1700}}, Gil-galad’s [[Elves]] had been beaten back to the River [[Lhûn]] and Sauron had more forces approaching from the south-east when the great armament from [[Númenor]] arrived. Sauron's host suffered heavy losses and was driven back.

Ciryatur had divided his forces, sending some directly to Gil-galad and some to the mouth of the [[Gwathló]] River. This second force appeared in the rear of Sauron's army after they had been driven away from [[Sarn Ford]] with further losses. In the ensuing [[Battle of the Gwathló]], the host of Sauron was completely routed and Sauron himself barely escaped. A final battle in eastern [[Calenardhon]] stripped Sauron of all but a tiny bodyguard. The Dark Lord retreated into [[Mordor]] and plotted vengeance upon the Númenóreans.<ref>{{UT|Galadriel}}</ref>

==Etymology==
''Ciryatur'' means "Ship Master" in [[Quenya]] (from ''[[cirya]]'', 'ship', and ''[[-tur]]'', 'master')—an appropriate name for an admiral. It is in fact possible that this is the name of his position rather than himself (cf. [[Ohtar]]).

The '''Sack of Eregion''' was the campaign in which [[Sauron]] destroyed [[Eregion]] to find the three Elven Rings of power or to find out where they are by torture. He also scattered the [[Elves]] that lived there.

==Background==
Sauron first came to [[Ost-in-Edhil]] around {{SA|1200}} disguised as an emissary of the [[Valar]] offering his knowledge to [[Gwaith-i-Mírdain]]. He was called [[Annatar]], Lord of the Gifts. Annatar taught Gwaith-i-Mírdain the craft of making [[Rings of Power]]. Based on the knowledge gained from Annatar, [[Celebrimbor]] created the [[Three Rings]]: [[Vilya]], [[Narya]] and [[Nenya]].

However, Sauron secretly forged [[the One Ring]] in [[Orodruin]], the mountain of [[Mordor]]. Celebrimbor sent the Three away for safekeeping - Vilya and Narya to [[Gil-galad]], and Nenya to [[Galadriel]] - and then prepared for war.

==Opposing Forces==
Sauron commanded a great host of evil men, orcs, and other creatures. No number can be certain, but considering the time it likely was a force of many tens of thousands. Enough to be able to challenge and destroy not just Hollin, but the great kingdoms of Lindon and Khazad-dûm.

As with Sauron's forces it cannot be certain the number of troops the Elves or Dwarves deployed. However it can be speculated that there were at least several thousand Elves, and several thousand Dwarves; whose inhabitants in Khazad-dûm were at their height.

==The Battle==
[[Sauron]] marched through [[Eriador]] until he came to [[Ost-in-Edhil]]. He sacked the city and took [[Celebrimbor]] prisoner.

Manuscript B led to Manuscript C, a fine copy (but with later emendations), which led to a final typescript D.
