Against The Tide

 

First age of the sun, year 455, Dagor Bragollach, Battle of the Sudden Flame.

Dorthonion has fallen, Lothlann has been ravaged, and Ard-Galen has perished forever.

The forces of Morgoth break through the Gap of Maglor and defile parts of eastern Beleriand.

However, the stronghold of the Fëanorians, Himring withstands all assaults thanks to the ceaseless efforts of its defenders and remains in the hands of the elves, an only island within a growing sea of darkness...
