Скачать или смотреть Fall of Fingolfin - King of Noldor

After the destruction of the Dagor Bragollach, Fingolfin rode his horse Rochallor across Dor-nu-Fauglith, and those that saw him pass took him for Oromë, so great was his rage. He rode in fury to the gates of Angband, where he sounded his horn, beat upon the great doors, and challenged Morgoth to single combat.

Morgoth could not refuse such a challenge before his captains, and left his stronghold for the last time during those wars. He came forth in black armour, with his great shield and his Iron Crown. He swung the great hammer Grond, seeking to smite Fingolfin, but the King leaped aside. The hammer made great pits in the ground where it fell.

Fingolfin wounded Morgoth seven times as they fought, but he began to weary. Three times Fingolfin fell to his knees, but each time he rose and continued to fight. At last, however, he stumbled in one of the pits left by Grond. But even as Morgoth set his great foot upon him to crush him, Fingolfin stabbed the foot of Morgoth with his sword. So perished Fingolfin, and Morgoth sought to cast his broken body to his wolves. But Thorondor swooped down on Morgoth, scarring his face and carrying the body of the King to a mountain-top. There Turgon built a cairn over him, and no Orc would go near it. Morgoth walked with a limp ever afterwards, and would always bear the wounds from that battle.
