	Nargothrond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tolkien, Nargothrond ("The great underground fortress on the river Narog") is the stronghold built by Finrod Felagund, delved into the banks of the river Narog in Beleriand, and the lands to the north (the Talath Dirnen or Guarded Plain) ruled by the city.
		Inspired by Menegroth in Doriath, and seeking a hidden place from which to be safe from the forces of Morgoth, Finrod established it in the early years of the First Age, in the Caverns of Narog beneath the forested hills of Taur-en-Faroth on the western bank of Narog.
		Túrin Turambar later came to Nargothrond and became one of its chief fighters, but he also persuaded the people to fight openly against Morgoth (the bridge was built at this time), which eventually led to its sack by the army of the dragon Glaurung.

		When Nargothrond was informed of the death of Finrod, its people blamed the sons of Fëanor that had made Finrod leave in the first place, and the Elves of Nargothrond once again praised the house of Finwë, and thus also Orodreth; the new king of Nargothrond.
		Orodreth, the king of Nargothrond, fell in the battle, and the Elves were driven back as Glaurung and his Orcs moved closer and closer to the gates of Nargothrond.
		The open bridge of Nargothrond enabled the Orcs to cross the deep waters of Narog, and Glaurung came with his fire and crushed the gates; Elven warriors were killed immediately, and the women and children were either slain or brought to Angband as slaves.

		Tolkien, Orodreth was an Elf of the First Age, the son of Angrod and nephew of Finrod Felagund, and a ruler of Nargothrond.

	Encyclopedia of Arda: Sack of Nargothrond
		Since its foundation by Finrod, the Elves of Nargothrond had pursued a secretive war against Morgoth, hunting their enemies by stealth and ambush rather than going to open war.
		In centuries of searching, Morgoth had been unable to find the fortress of Nargothrond, but now not only was its location revealed, but the new bridge removed the defence of the River Narog.
		The army of Nargothrond went out to meet Glaurung on the field of Tumhalad, some miles north of the citadel.

	Nargothrond (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Nargothrond is the realm of Finrod Felagund, son of Finarfin, son of Finwë.
		Basically everything to the West of the River Sirion is Nargothrond (with the exception of the Falas, by the Sea.) To the North it has borders with Nevrast and Dor-lómin, to the Northeast with Brethil and Doriath (the Rivers Teiglin and Sirion marking the borders), to the West with the Falas.
		The name "Nargothrond" comes from "Narog-ost-rond" of which a rough translation would show something like "vaulted fortress on the Narog." In fact, Nargothrond proper is a system of caves craftily dug for King Finrod Felagund by dwarves.

		Then the warriors of Nargothrond went forth, and tall and terrible on that day looked Túrin, and the heart of the host was upheld, as he rode on the right hand of Orodreth.
		On that day all the pride and host of Nargothrond withered away; and Orodreth was slain in the forefront of the battle, and Gwindor son of Guilin was wounded to the death.
		Then Túrin sped back to Nargothrond, mustering such of the rout as he met with on the way; and the leaves fell from the trees in a great wind as they went, for the autumn was passing to a dire winter.

	Battle of Tumhalad - Tolkien Gateway
		It was fought on the plain of Tumhalad between the river Narog and its tributary, the river Ginglith.
		The Elves of Nargothrond, however, weren't used to battle in the open field for they had always waged a secret war, ambushing but never assaulting the forces of Morgoth.
		The forces of Nargothrond couldn't withstand the assault and were driven towards the plain of Tumhalad, were most of them, including King Orodreth, were slain.

		And slowly Finduilas's love for him dwindled, and eventually she gave him up as dead when she heard from the returning army that he had led a desperate charge into Angband itself, and had never again been seen.
		In Nargothrond, he was lauded as a hero, and songs were sung of his courage and strength.
		He was even compared to Fingolfin, so fey had he been on that charge, the white banners of Fingon billowing around him, the light of the swords of the Noldor burning like a fire in a field of reeds.

		But why it was that he went to Nargothrond is uncertain, save that so his doom and the fate of the Jewels led him.
		Yet this can scarce be so, since the death of Glaurung was so bound up with the death of his children and revelation of their evil case; while the rumour of the assault of Glaurung upon Brethil went far and wide.
		Now such mighty heaps of gold have never since been gathered in one place; and some thereof was wrought to cups, to basons, and to dishes, and hilts there were for swords, and scabbards, and sheaths for daggers; but the most part was of red gold unwrought lying in masses and in bars.

		Now, in Nargothrond Finduilas, the daugther of the king, turned slowly towards Túrin in her heart, and often they would meet with each other and he began to enjoy her company.
		Now of what happened after that is told elsewhere, of how messengers came to Nargothrond and warned the king of the destruction of Nargothrond but that Túrin convinced the king not to listen to them and that at last Morgoth sent his armies with Glaurung at the head and so begun the battle of Tumhalad.
		Then on that day the hosts of Nargothrond were defeated, and there Gwindor was wounded to the death, but before he died Túrin came and bore him away from the battle and escaping into the woods he laid him down on the grass.

		And some said that all the enemy had withdrawn northwards, and others that Glaurung abode still in the halls of Felagund; and some said that the Mormegil was slain, and others that he was cast under a spell by the Dragon and dwelt there yet, as one changed to stone.
		He knew now indeed that Glaurung abode in Nargothrond, but he was bidden also to learn the truth concerning Húrin's son, if he might; and in the stoutness of his heart, therefore, he purposed to cross the river, as soon as Glaurung was gone, and search the halls of Felagund.
		And it seemed to her that the sun sickened and all became dim about her; and slowly a great darkness drew down on her and in that darkness there was emptiness; she knew nothing, and heard nothing, and remembered nothing.

		Sauron his lieutenant lead the assault and his host broke through and besieged the fortress upon Tol-Sirion and after bitter fighting they took it and Orodreth was driven out and if not for Celegorm and Curufin he would have been slain.
		When Finrod left Nargothrond with Beren to fulfill his oath Orodreth was given the silver crown of Nargothrond in stewardship but when tidings of Finrod`s death reached Nargothrond he took the Kingship and the crown and drove Celegorm and Curufin out because of there evil deeds and threats against Luthien, Beren and his brother.

		He was also heir to Finrod who was not only King of the defunct realm of Nargothrond but also had a grant directly from Thingol over the Sindarin population in that area.
		I've argued in different contexts that Thingol's grant survivied the fall of the physical realm of Nargothrond and the refugee Sindarin population of the former Nargothrond would still have the scion of the House of Finrod as their liegelord.

		While hunting in the lands of Thargelion in East Beleriand Finrod was first of the Ñoldor to come across Men, and he long stayed with them, learning their language (Taliska) and teaching them Sindarin.
		Celegorm and Curufin, who were living in Nargothrond at the time, persuaded (using barely veiled threats related to their oath) most of Nargothrond to stay behind; only ten warriors, headed by one Edrahil, were faithful and came with them.
		Felagund was an epessë given to him by the Dwarves that expanded the caves of Nargothrond, and meant "Hewer of Caves".

	Entmoot - Good thing that Celegorm was there!!
		Also without the grivences against Celegom and Curufin, Nargothrond would have participated in the fith battle to freat effect in a near run battle, to much greater effect than being uselessly slaugter when alone later (and likely still being around at such later time, with allies).
		Imagine this, that somehow the armies of Nargothrond would have prevailed and obtained the Silmaril, what would have prevented the Sons of Fëanor from attacking such a host themselves in order to regain the Silmaril.
		They caused the people of Nargothrond to turn against Finrod, prompting him to go off on what was basically a suicide mission, which if he had gained the necessary support could have been succesful.
