Of the Ruin of Beleriand and the Fall of Fingolfin I Simarillion 18

Описание: “He rode alone to the gates of Hell… and challenged a god.”

Chapter 18 of The Silmarillion recounts the breaking of the long siege and the unleashing of Morgoth’s full wrath upon Beleriand. Rivers of fire pour from Angband. Armies of flame and shadow sweep across the land. Kingdoms fall, and hope is crushed beneath iron and smoke.

In despair and fury, Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor, mounts his horse Rochallor and rides alone to the gates of Angband. There, beneath the dark towers of Morgoth, he sounds his horn and challenges the Dark Enemy to single combat.

What follows is one of the most heroic and tragic duels ever told — a lone Elf-King wounding a god, seven times striking Morgoth before falling beneath Grond, Hammer of the Underworld.

This cinematic retelling brings to life:
🔥 The Dagor Bragollach — the Battle of Sudden Flame
⚔️ The ruin of Elven realms
👑 Fingolfin’s ride of despair and defiance
🩸 The duel before Angband
🕯️ The turning of the First Age toward darkness

✨ Though he fell, Morgoth would never forget the wounds of Fingolfin.
