Part 5/7:

However, Fingon's kingdom faced a turning point with the emergence of Glaurung—the first of Morgoth’s dragons. It was during this period that Fingon faced one of his most significant challenges, leading his forces into battle once more against the overwhelming might of Morgoth's armies.

In a climactic confrontation known as the Dagor Bragollach, Fingon fought bravely but suffered devastating losses, signifying the beginning of a new era of darkness for the Noldor.

The Final Battle and Legacy

The last moments of Fingon's life came during the grand battle known as the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, where he encountered Gothmog, the Lord of Balrogs. Outmatched and betrayed, Fingon’s death was both poignant and tragic, emblematic of the ongoing strife between the Noldor and Morgoth's forces.
