The Second Kinslaying | Doriath, F.A. 506

[MELO 2022 Free Build Entry]

 

In the year 506 of the First Age of Middle Earth, the sons of Fëanor and their followers attacked the secret, guarded forest realm of Doriath, ruled by the half-elven King Dior, in search of a Silmaril captured by the fabled Beren from the clutches of Morgoth himself. Upon Dior's refusal to answer the greed-induced requests of the seven sons of Fëanor, they began a devastating attack upon the forest realm of their elven kin. Many elves were killed, including King Dior and his wife Queen Nimloth. Despite the bloodshed, the sons of Fëanor never found the Silmaril, which had been whisked away by Elwing and some surviving elves. This grievous treachery led to the complete collapse of the kingdom of Doriath and weakened the free peoples' ability to counter Morgoth in the battles to come.
