Hall Of Fire This Weekend -- Fall Of Fingolfin
Demosthenes @ 2:44 am EST
Hall of Fire this weekend focuses on Chapter 17 of the Silmarillion -- The ruin of Beleriand and the Fall of Fingolfin. After a long, watchful peace, Morgoth smashes the leaguer of Angband that's been maintained by the Noldor, unleashing orcs, Balrogs and an all-grown up Glaurung. Ard-Gelen is withered, Dorthonion is destroyed, the sons of Finarfin slain and the sons of Feanor scattered. Sauron takes Tol Sirion and uses it as a base from which to torment Beleriand. And the Noldorin high king Fingolfin rashly throws his life away in a suicidal challenge against Morgoth. In the midst of this tale of woe, is there any good news for the elves and human allies? Here's a couple of famous drawings of the confrontation between Morgoth and Fingolfin: America: Europe: Asia-Pacific: Chats usually last 45 mins to an hour, and are very newbie friendly.
