Amidst the tumultuous turmoil of the First
Age, the seeds of Morgoth’s downfall were sown. It began in the year 536 of the First Age
with a lone hero: Eärendil, the mariner. With the radiant Silmaril adorning his brow,
Eärendil embarked on an awe-inspiring journey. He braved the enchantments of the treacherous
sea and sailed forth to Valinor, the sacred realm of the Valar. Eärendil, a living mortal, stood as the first
of his kind to set foot upon the hallowed shores of Valinor. Eärendil bore a vital mission. A plea for pardon on behalf of the Noldor,
the Elven people who had been ensnared by the dark lord Morgoth's malevolent grasp. Before the Powers of Arda, Eärendil spoke
with a heart full of hope and desperation, delivering the "errand of the Two Kindreds." He implored the Valar for forgiveness and
begged them to rescue his people from the clutches of Morgoth's tyranny. In that moment, the Valar were stirred by
Eärendil's plea. Led by the Maiar, Eonwe, the hosts of the
West, prepared for the epic battle that would shape the fate of the world. Among them were some of the mighty Maiar,
as well as the Vanyar and Noldor who resided in Valinor,
The year was 545 of the First Age, a time when the formidable host of Valinor made landfall
in the ancient realm of Beleriand. Before them, stood the unparalleled might
of Morgoth, the dark lord, as he gathered his full strength! His armies were beyond measure, and the mountains
themselves echoed with the roar of Valinor's host. The war, my friends, it raged like an inferno,
consuming the entire North of Middle-earth in its fiery embrace. Battles of unimaginable scale and ferocity
raged across the land! Heroes and villains clashed, their destinies
intertwined in the blood-soaked soil of Beleriand. The very mountains trembled, and the heavens
themselves bore witness to this epic struggle. The clash of weapons, the beat of war drums,
and the blare of trumpets filled the air, painting a vivid tapestry of conflict and
valour. And in this defining moment, the world held
its breath, for the outcome of this cataclysmic clash would shape the course of history itself! Victory was not a distant dream but a reality! As the sun set on the battlefield, Morgoth's
forces faced their inevitable doom. The Balrogs, once feared demons, were vanquished,
save for a few that fled into the depths of the earth, where they cowered in fear. The armies of Orcs, once a relentless scourge
upon the land, now lay defeated, their threat extinguished! Yet, amidst the clash of steel and magic,
there were Men who chose to fight for Morgoth, driven by misguided loyalties. Their decision earned them the scorn of the
Elves, for they had aligned themselves with darkness. It was a time when heroes emerged from the
shadows, and the legacy of sacrifice was etched into the annals of Middle-earth's history. In the War's waning days, Morgoth, knew that
defeat loomed. Fueled by desperation, he unleashed a horrifying
final assault that shook the very foundations of Middle-earth. The year 587 of the First Age saw the emergence
of a terror previously unseen in Middle-earth. The great winged Dragons! Among them, the mightiest and most dreadful
was none other than Ancalagon the Black! These colossal creatures descended upon the
battlefield like avatars of annihilation, their wings casting shadows over all hope. The outcome of this cataclysmic clash would
change the course of history forever. The arrival of Ancalagon the Black and his
fiery brethren was nothing short of cataclysmic! The very skies themselves erupted in torrents
of lightning and fire as these monstrous dragons descended upon the battlefield. Caught off guard and overwhelmed by the sheer
destruction these winged terrors wrought, the forces of the Valar were driven back across
the region. Morgoth's malevolent plan had dealt a devastating
blow, and it seemed all hope was lost. But, just when it appeared that darkness would
swallow Middle-earth whole, a glimmer of hope emerged from the ashes. Earendil, aboard his majestic sky-ship, the
Vingilot, swooped down from the heavens to challenge the winged terror, Ancalagon the
Black. Thorondor, King of the Eagles, alongside a
flock of giant eagles, assisted Eärendil in a tumultuous battle against the drakes. For a full day, they engaged in a celestial
duel, their epic clash echoing across the realms. Eärendil, brandishing a Silmaril on his brow,
clashed with the monstrous dragon, and in a final, glorious stroke, he brought Ancalagon
down. Ancalagon's colossal body crashed upon the
mighty peaks of Thangorodrim, shattering them to rubble, and breaking the chains that bound
Middle-earth in darkness. With their greatest weapon defeated, the forces
of the Valar and their allies rallied, reclaiming the ground they had lost. While Sauron showed some backbone, daring
to stand at Barad-Dur, the mighty Morgoth, the supposed Dark Lord, turned tail and slithered
away like the worm he was. Yes, in the final throes of his empire's collapse,
Morgoth scurried to the darkest abysses of Angband, cowering and hiding from the impending
doom. An inglorious end for one who once thought
himself a god. Morgoth's pits of torment were destroyed,
as the forces descended into the heart of Angband itself. And there, in the depths of Angband, justice
awaited the Dark Lord, Morgoth. He met his fate, his doom sealed, and his
treacherous reign came to a cataclysmic end. Cornered and defeated, he sought to negotiate
for his survival, pleading for peace and parley with his triumphant adversaries. But his pleas fell on deaf ears, for the Valar
and their allies had suffered too greatly, their lands scarred and their people in turmoil. And so, in an act of final justice, they struck
down the once-mighty Morgoth. His feet were hewn from under him, and the
fallen god crashed to the cold, unforgiving floor of Angband. Morgoth, the once-mighty and now vanquished
lord of darkness, faced a final judgment unlike any other. Bound with the very chain, Angainor, that
once confined him within the halls of Aman, he was powerless before the might of his conquerors. The two remaining Silmarils, the gems that
had caused so much strife and suffering throughout the ages, were taken from Morgoth's grasp. They entrusted these precious relics to the
Maia Eönwë, a guardian to ensure their safekeeping. And then, in an act of ultimate justice, the
Valar decreed Morgoth's fate. They thrust him "through the Door of Night,
beyond the Walls of the World, into the Timeless Void." This, my friends, marked the culmination of
the War of Wrath, an epic conflict that reshaped the very world of Middle-earth! If you've enjoyed this journey into the annals
