Battle of the Lammoth

The Battle of the Lammoth was the first battle fought after Fingolfin and the second, greater host of the Ñoldor arrived in Lammoth during the First Age.

History

Fingolfin's host was attacked by a force of Orcs as they marched southwards from the Helcaraxë into Beleriand that had been sent there by Morgoth to attack Fëanor in the rear and they fought their first battle. The Ñoldor were caught off-guard, and Fingolfin's son Argon was slain. Fingolfin and his host pursued the Orcs until they were completely destroyed, and then passed into Mithrim as the Moon first rose.
