In north-west Middle-earth Melkor faced the Valar; the land shattered. Western hosts won a first success; Melkor's servants fled to Utumno. The Valar crossed Middle-earth and posted sentinels at Cuiviénen. The Quendi knew of the Battle of the Powers only through shaking ground, moving waters, and northern firelight. Utumno endured a long, hard siege; fights at its gates reached the Elves as hearsay. The Great Sea between Middle-earth and Aman grew wider and deeper.
