503. Birth of Earendil in Gondolin. The Dwarves invade Doriath. Thingol is slain and his realm

ended. Melian takes Nauglamir to Beren and Luthien and then returns to Valinor. Celegorm and

Curufin destroy the Dwarf-host at Sarn-athrad in Rath-loriel; and are wroth to find the Silmaril not

there. Dior goes to Doriath.

[Oath-240] HoME-XI, “The Grey Annals”

But Celegorn said: “Know this: thy going is vain; for could ye achieve this quest it would avail

nothing. Neither thee nor this Man should we suffer to keep or to give a Silmaril of Feanor. Against

thee would come all the brethren to slay thee rather. And should Thingol gain it, then we would burn

Doriath or die in the attempt. For we have sworn our Oath.”

[Oath-250] HoME-XII, “Late Writings”, “The Problem of Ros”

Elured and Elurin, before they came to manhood, were both slain by the sons of Feanor, in the

last and most abominable deed brought about by the curse that the impious oath of Feanor laid upon

them.__
