Westward the Orcs controlled Sirion’s pass; eastward they forced a way through Maglor’s country, where Maedhros’s heights leave a gap before the Blue Mountains. While that army pressed Dorthonion, Maedhros, with Fingolfin, closed on it from two directions and wiped it out across Ard-galen, close to Angband. The clash, third among Beleriand’s major wars, received the designation Dagor Aglareb. Princes compacted their blockade and instituted Angband’s siege, lasting almost four hundred solar years.
