Age of the Trees - The First Battle



In Ages long past, in the time before the rising of the sun and moon. The Elves of Middle Earth faced their first Battle. And so this battle was called: First Battle of Beleriand.

In those times, Telvon a young Sindar warrior with little knowledge of war and of its art, fought in the Elven Army of Beleriand: The Host of Lord Thingol, Lord of Beleriand.

The time of peace was at end, and the Elves of Beleriand, sundered at that time (save in Menegroth and in Falas) fought only in bands. But when the hosts of Orcs almost reached the gates of Menegroth. King Thingol, sumoned all Eldar he could: Iathrim of Region and Neldoreth, wandering Mithrim of distant lands, Falathrim of the coasts, and even the Laiquendi of Ossiriand.

He organised a great host, clad in the armour and weapons crafted by the Dwarves of the Blue Mountain, most skilled craftsmen that Arda will ever know.

Telvon was part of the host of the Iathrim of the host of the land tht will be known latter as Doriath.

 

This Battle at its end was a vicotry, one of the rare victories the Eldar ever had. Perhaps because those that fought were not under the shadow of the curse? But victory had its cost, many orcs have slain the folks of Falas, and Falas was under the shadow for some time after.

The hosts of the Orcs  of the East were crushed by the Elves and those who fled were met by the ancient Naugrim. And few of those orcs ever returned to their Master.

Though many have fallen that day aswell, esspecialy the King of the Green Elves, whose host was not well equiped compared to the Sindar or Naugrim.

 

Telvon saw with his young eyes, the horror of evil, the Might of Morrgoth and the corruption it brought to the beautifull lands of Arda. It is then that Telvon understood that his path is the one of a warrior: protect the lands of Arda, protect its beauty from the taint of Evil.

And to this day, his weapons cut those who wish to hurt the wilderness of Middle Earth. He hopes one day, that some of the followers will protect it after the Firstborn are no more.
