to march forth as soon as Maidros' main host
gives the signal in the East of Dor-na-Fauglith.
Huor son of Hador (37) weds Rian daughter of
Belegund on the eve of battle and marches with
Hurin his brother in the army of Fingon.
The Battle of Unnumbered Tears," the third
battle of the Gnomes and Morgoth, was fought
upon the plains of Dor-na-Fauglith before the
pass in which the young waters of Sirion enter
Beleriand between Erydlomin (39) and Taur-na-
Fuin. The place was long marked by a great hill
in which the slain, Elves and Men, were piled.
Grass grew there alone in Dor-na-Fauglith. The
Elves and Men were utterly defeated and their
ruin accomplished.
Maidros was hindered on the road by the
machinations of Uldor the Accursed whom
Morgoth's spies had bought. Fingon attacked
without waiting and drove in Morgoth's feinted
attack, even to Angband. The companies from
Nargothrond burst into his gates, but they and
their leader Flinding son of Fuilin< were all
taken; and Morgoth now released a countless
army and drove the Gnomes back with terrible
slaughter. Hundor son of Haleth and the Men of
the wood were slain in the retreat across the
sands. The Orcs got between them and the
passes into Hithlum, and they retreated towards
Tolsirion.
Turgon and the army of Gondolin sound their
horns and issue out of Taur-na-Fuin. Fortune
wavers and the Gnomes begin to gain ground.
Glad meeting of Hurin and Turgon.

The trumpets of Maidros heard in the East,
and the Gnomes take heart. The Elves say vic-
tory might have been theirs yet but for Uldor.
But Morgoth now sent forth all the folk of
Angband and Hell was emptied. There came
afresh a hundred thousand Orcs and a thousand
Balrogs, and in the forefront came Glomund the
Dragon, and Elves and Men withered before
him. Thus the union of the hosts of Fingon and
Maidros was broken. But Uldor went over to
Morgoth and fell on the right flank of the sons
of Feanor.
Cranthir slew Uldor, but Ulfast and Ulwar
slew Bor and his three sons and many Men who
were faithful and the host of Maidros was scat-
tered to the winds and fled far into hiding into
