In briefanswer capsule

Four hundred and fifty-five years after Fingolfin arrived, Morgoth sends fire from Thangorodrim across Ard-galen; fumes off the Iron Mountains leave the plain a waste. Thorondor wounds Morgoth in the face and carries Fingolfin to a peak north of Gondolin; Turgon raises a cairn. Fingon takes the Noldorin kingship and sends Ereinion, later Gil-galad, to the Havens. Beleg and Halmir destroy an Orc-host in Brethil; Orcs shun the Teiglin for many years, and Nargothrond musters.
