The Glorious Battle
(Redirected from Dagor Aglareb)
The Glorious Battle (Dagor Aglareb) was the third of six major battles in the Wars of Beleriand, fought between the Noldor Elves and Morgoth's forces in Beleriand.
It had been 60 years since The Battle Under Stars, and the Noldor had established themselves in Middle-earth and made contact with the Sindar Elves living in Beleriand.
Morgoth seized the opportunity to attack while the Elves appeared unguarded, striking the plains south of the Thangorodrim, as well as Dorthonion and the Pass of Sirion.
The Noldor were more prepared for this than Morgoth anticipated however, and led by Fingolfin, they struck back against the Orcs and utterly destroyed them all.
