Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index

Siege of Angband

The Siege of Angband in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth fictional universe, was the leaguer of the Noldor around the fortress of Morgoth in the early centuries of the First Age, which began following the Dagor Aglareb. Fingolfin and Fingon kept watch from Hithlum; Finrod and then Orodreth from Tol Sirion; Angrod and Aegnor from Dorthonion; and the sons of Fëanor watched the east. After about four hundred years, the Siege was broken in the Dagor Bragollach.
