Battles of the Wars of Beleriand
First Battle Dagor-nuin-Giliath Dagor Aglareb Dagor Bragollach Nirnaeth Arnoediad War of Wrath
After Eärendil came to Valinor to beg for the aid of the Valar , they sent a mighty force into Middle-earth to do battle with Morgoth . Led by Eönwë , the herald of Manwë , the forces of the Valar , with the peoples of the Vanyar and the Noldor that had remained in Aman , sailed eastward in the ships of the Teleri .
In the great battle that followed, Morgoth's armies were almost completely destroyed, and only a few of his Balrogs , Dragons and Orcs survived. Morgoth himself was taken as prisoner and shut beyond the confines of the world, and the Silmarils were recovered from his Iron Crown . In the tumult of the war, Beleriand and the lands to the north were destroyed and sunk beneath the Sea , and the shape of Middle-earth was changed.
