In the year 60 of the First Age, the Third Great Battle of the Wars of Beleriand took place, and it is remembered in lore as Glorious Battle or Dagor Aglareb. Morgoth sought to test the Noldor’s resolve and launched an assault with his forces. However, the combined might of the Ñoldor crushed the Orc hordes, leading to a decisive victory. This triumph not only solidified the unity among the Noldor but also initiated a four-century-long Siege of Angband, marking one of the most devastating defeats for Morgoth.
During their reign in Beleriand, the Noldor dedicated themselves to the pursuit of wisdom, knowledge, and the arts. They constructed grand citadels and immersed themselves in the study of lore and craftsmanship. Their influence spread throughout the land, and the Noldor’s realms became beacons of light and beauty in Beleriand.
These are just some of the significant events that unfolded during the Noldor’s time in Beleriand. Their unity, resilience, and unwavering pursuit of enlightenment shaped their destiny and left an indelible mark on the history of Middle-earth.
