The Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Since the death of Fernor of the Noldor, the Noldor elves have lost one of their greatest figures. Fernor asked his sons to carry out his legacy and avenge him. The sons naturally obeyed, and after all, killed

Our father's hatred is irreconcilable!

In the Mithrin area, there used to be some gray elves who wandered north from Beleriand (also translated as Beleriand) and crossed the mountains. The Noldor elves were very happy when they met them, and the two sides seemed like relatives reunited after a long separation. But one day

It was not easy to start communicating with each other. During this hundreds of years of separation, the languages ​​of the high elves living in Valinor and the dark elves living in Beleriand have developed great differences.

difference.

From the elves of Mithrine, the Noldor elves learned about the power of Eru Thingol (Elwë), the king of Doriath, and the enchanted ring (the Ring of Melian) that protected his territory.

); on the other hand, these great events that took place in the north also spread southward to Menegroth (the palace of a thousand caves) and the seaports of Besumba and Igrarest.

So all the elves in Beleriand were full of surprise and hope at the arrival of this powerful kinsman; at the moment when they were in urgent need of help, this kinsman unexpectedly came from the west, so at first

They all thought that the Noldor were special envoys sent by the Valar to rescue them. (The elves who stayed in Middle-earth were still unaware of the massacre that took place in Oqualondi)

At this moment, Morgoth sent a messenger to see the sons of Fernor, who not only admitted defeat, but also proposed conditions for peace, including a Silmaril. So, as the eldest son, the tall and tall

Maedhros persuaded his brothers to pretend to agree to Morgoth's peace terms. Then they went to the agreed place to meet his envoys, but the Noldor were not as arrogant as Morgoth imagined. Therefore, when the two sides met, each other

They both brought more than what was agreed upon by both parties.

There were men and horses, but Morgoth brought more, including a Balrog. This was the mutated incarnation of the god he had polluted and corrupted. The whole body was filled with strong flames, and even the evil was so powerful that Morgoth could not feel it.

to be afraid

Ungoliant was also driven out by the Balrog. Therefore, the outcome of this war is naturally unknown! All the troops brought by Maedhros were annihilated, and he himself was captured alive under the order of Morgoth.

and was brought to Angband.

When his brothers heard the news, they retreated back to Hithlon to camp and strengthen their defenses. On the other hand, Morgoth took Maedhros as a hostage and sent a message that unless the Noldor gave up the war and returned to the west or

Move to the southern world far away from Beleriand, otherwise he would not release Maedhros. But the sons of Fernor knew that no matter what they did,

Morgoth would break his promise and would not release their eldest brother as promised; besides, they were bound by their oaths and could not give up waging war against their enemies no matter what. So Morgoth hung Maedhros on the

On the cliff of Ungorodrim, one of his wrists was handcuffed to an iron chain made of fine steel, and one end of the chain was nailed into the rock of the cliff.

At this time, Fingolfin and the people he led had crossed the Strait of Ice. At the same time, the whole world was amazed by the rising crescent moon. When Fingolfin's army entered Mislin, the flaming

The sun also rises from the west. (In the beginning, the sun rose from the west.

It arose because the world of Arda was flat, and when it later became spherical, it rose from the east.) Fingolfin then unfolded his blue and silver royal standard, blew his horn loudly, and the flowers bloomed

His feet were no longer blooming as he moved forward, and the era of stars was over.

Under the strong rising light, Morgoth's servants all ran and hid in Angband. Fingolfin and his party arrived at the city of Angband without any hindrance while the enemy was hiding underground, and beat them.

Drums are called! They play

The sound of trumpets and drums resounded throughout the heaven and earth, shaking the towering Angolodim. Maedhros heard their voices in pain and torture. He called out to them loudly, but the sound was lost in the echo of the rocks.

Fingolfin's temperament was different from that of Fernor. He was more cautious and considered things carefully. When he could not call out the enemy, he led his people to leave Angband and return to the Mithrin area. Because, he heard that

Fernor's son is there, and he also wants to use the Shadow Mountains as a barrier to allow his people to grow and prosper.

However, because Fernor had abandoned them, Fingolfin and the Noldor elves he led had no good impression of the people led by Fernor. However, the sons of Fernor actually walked out of the ice.

The same people in the Strait were also extremely surprised. They wanted to join forces with this group of people, but they were ashamed of the fact that they had abandoned them. So, one of them lived on the north bank of Mislin Lake, and the other lived on the south bank.

.

Therefore, during this period of time, they achieved nothing. Although Morgoth's servants were hiding underground in Angband, if they could put aside their previous differences and join forces at this time, they might achieve good results. However, it is obvious that both sides

There is already a big bad blood between them. Therefore, it is impossible for them to join forces to fight against the enemy!

When Morgoth knew this, he laughed happily, and at this time he also reacted. He released thick black smoke and poisonous gas, covering the brilliance of the sun. The black smoke polluted the fresh air, and the poisonous gas made the clear

The water source became extremely poisonous and spread to the Mithrin area. This made the Noldor who were in internal strife know one thing. They missed a good opportunity!

The black smoke and poisonous gas that covered the sky made the Noldor nervous, thinking that it was a sign that Morgoth was coming to attack them! Therefore, Fingolfin's most courageous son, Fingon, made up his mind to fight against Morgoth.

Before coming to attack them, mediate the feud between the people of both sides of the divided Noldor. Because,

In Valinor, during the period when Morgoth was imprisoned by the Valar, the Noldor lived in peace and love with each other. At that time, Morgoth's distant and provocative

They spread among them. And he was a very good friend with Fernor's eldest son, his cousin Maedhros.

So Fingon set off alone to find his cousin Maedhros. He went to Angband alone. The black smoke spread by Morgoth along the way became his best shield. He didn't know what was going on.

He came to Angband in a hurry, and climbed up the mountainside of Angrodrim without fear of hardships. However, what lay before him was the endless wilderness, which did not allow him to find a way to enter Angband.

The passage of the fortress. Desperate Fingon took out his harp, not afraid of the danger of the orcs, and sang an ancient ballad about Valinor. It was a song that was spread before the Noldor were born.

The song echoed in the wilderness, which made him find his goal. Above his head came a weak echo. It was Maedhros, who was tortured by Morgoth, responding to Fingon's song.

So Fingon climbed up through the sound, and climbed to the bottom of the cliff that bound his cousin, because there was no way to continue climbing there. He looked at his cousin who was tortured by Morgoth, and he felt extremely sad in his heart.

Unable to hold back his tears, Maedhros begged Fingon in despair to kill him with an arrow.

Death, so Fingon drew his bow, his trembling hands, and his red eyes couldn't bear to look at Maedhros. In this hopeless situation, he shouted to Manwe, "The great king beloved by all the wings."

Oh, let this arrow fly away, and show some mercy to the Noldor in their hour of need!"

His call was answered immediately, because all the birds in Middle-earth loved Manwë deeply, and they constantly conveyed what happened in Middle-earth to the peak of Teniquetil. And Manwë

Manwë also ordered the eagles under his command to fly back to the north to build nests and monitor the movements of Morgoth. Because Manwë still felt pity for the exiled elves, and the birds were constantly conveying these things to Manwë.

In the sad ears of Wei.

At the moment when Fingon was about to shoot his arrow, Thorondor, the king of eagles, descended from the sky and stopped Fingon. His wings were spread out to a height of thirty feet (more than 9 meters). He let Fingon sit on his back.

on it, carrying him to fly to Maedhros. However, Morgoth used to bind Maedhros.

The rope of Los was so strong that it could not be pulled out after being cut. The weak Maedhros once again begged Fingon to kill him. But Fingon did not do so. He cut off the palms that bound Maedhros's hands and freed him.

He came out and returned to Mithrine with the help of Thorondor, King of Eagles.

After a period of recovery, Maedhros recovered from his wounds, because the fire of his life was burning brightly in his soul, and his power was the power of the ancient earth. Those who grew up in Valinor had this.

Strength. His body recovered from the torment it suffered.

He recovered from the grind and became stronger, but the pain he suffered left a shadow in his heart. Now he has trained himself to use the sword with his left hand, making the power more terrifying than before with his right hand. Fen

What Gong did won him great

Great fame, all the Noldor praised him; the hatred between Fingolfin and Fernor was finally relieved. Maedhros begged forgiveness for the betrayal at Ahriman, and gave up

Kingship over all the Noldor, he said to Fingolfin

: "If there were no such grievances and grievances between us, my lord, the throne of kingship would still be yours. Here you are the eldest and wisest of the Finwë family." However, it was not.

Not every brother of Maedhros approved of his actions.

In this way, Mandos' prophecy came true. As Mandos predicted, the Fernor family not only lost the Silmarillion, but also lost the royal power. So, the Noldor reunited

They set up a defense line in the Terror Mountains (Ereed Gordoroth) to surround the east, west and south sides of Angband. They also sent envoys into the Beleriand region to conduct trade activities with the people who lived there.

King Thingol did not welcome the arrival of so many powerful elven princes from the west, occupying new lands; he would neither open his kingdom nor remove the charmed ring, because Melian's

Wisdom made him wise to foresee that Morgoth would

Restraint could not last long. Of all the Noldor princes, only the house of Finarfin grieved at the prohibition against entering Doriath; for their mother was Ærwen of Auqualondi,

Owe's daughter, so they can be said to be close relatives to King Thingol.

Angrod, the son of Finarfin, was the first exile to come to Menegroth. He came as the envoy of his brother Finrod. He talked with King Thingol for a long time and told him that the Noldor elves were in the north.

Their achievements, their numbers, and their

According to what he believed to be the sincerity and wisdom of his heart, and the belief that all tragedies had now been resolved, he did not reveal a word about the massacre of his kin, nor did he tell the story of the Noldor's exile and the situation.

The oath sworn by Ferno.

Thingol believed it, and he did not know about the massacre in Aman. Before he left, he told Angrod to order him to send a message to the people who asked him to bring the message. He told them that they could live in his territory, but they were not allowed to be expelled.

His people are also not allowed to enter the Melian Ring without any reason. They are not allowed to enter Doriath unless they have his permission or are received by him!
