Palisorbattle


The Battle of Palisor was the peak of the terrifying wars in the First Age's eastern Middle-earth. The battle was largely the work of Morgoth's manipulative agent Fankil who led the forces of Men who served the First Temple, Orcs, and jealous Dwarves, against Men who had rebelled against the Temple, Avarin Elves, and faithful Dwarves. In the end no party could claim to have won the battle, but a large host of rebellious and repenting men, the Lintanoi, fled to the Westlands, as well as many desperate Avari; but also the treacherous Dwarves who had been exiled by their kindreds after the battle (and became the Noegyth Nibin or Petty-dwarves). Other Men, the Asrabi, stayed in the east or crossed the Orocarni while the surviving Orcs fled to the Wild Woods and mountains.

Notes[]

The Date of the Battle of Palisor is hard to determine.With the published Silmarillion it could have happenned some time after the first rise of the Sun around Y.T.1500, according to Myth transformed however men awoke already between Y.T. 1050 and Y.T. 1100. If the ancestors of the later Petty Dwarves were involved it must have been before Y.T.1496, the year of the Exile of the Noldor as Nulukkhizdin was established prior to this event.
