I'm not sure how I missed this for so long, but I had read the Lord of the Rings, the Silmarillion, and even Unfinished Tales multiple times, and it wasn't until I started reading the History of Middle Earth that I realized that the setting of the Silmarillion was a seperate place from the rest...
WAR OF THE RING
Sauron's attack on Osgiliath
Attack on the Woodland Realm
Skirmish in the outskirts of Lothlórien
First Battle of the Fords of Isen
Ambush of the Rohirrim
Second Battle of the Fords of Isen
Ambush of the Wargs

I don't know why Tolkien separated the 6 wars, namely the First Battle of Beleriand, Dagor-Nuin-Giliath, Dagor Aglareb, Dagor Bragollach, Nirnaeth Arnoediad and War of Wrath, from the other wars. But I compiled all the characters who participated in other wars besides these 6 Wars of Beleriand...
There are a number of threads on various sites detailing the timeline between the wounding of the Two Trees and Fingolfin crossing the ice. People are arguing that the journey took 33 years!
As I re-read the Silmarillion, that timeline seems crazy.
1) It makes no narrative sense. Feanor is...
Hello fellow Tolkien enthusiast. I made my way through The Silmarillion somewhat recently, and was able to find guidance on how to incorporate material from THoMe, The Unfinished Tales, and the Children of Hurin to make an expanded experience. It probably sounds like madness, but it worked for...
Since one Valian Year is equal to 9,582 solar years, was Gil-galad mature enough to fight in the Battle of the Lammoth and subsequent wars, since he was born in 1481 of the Years of the Trees? Did Gil-galad fight in the Battles of Beleriand?
Why didn't Tolkien name some battles in his books, such as the Fall of Tol Sirion, the Battle of the Crossings of the Taeglin, the Battle of the forest of Brethil?
Quite by chance, I came across this page by a fanfiction writer called 'AeolianSands', which has a theory about the tectonic activity of Beleriand, based on the location of its mountains. I found it very interesting, even if it may not be a perfect theory or an intentional choice by Tolkien...
The question is quite clear. Who do you think is the elf who has fought the most wars and also seen the most place among all the first age elves? I think this elf is Celegorm. Because he noticeably has more battles and more travels than other characters.

Kinslaying at Alqualonde...
In the book called A Dictionary of Tolkien and in the lotr.fandom wiki it says that celebrimbor fought in the first age wars. My question is, is this possible? Was celebrimbor mature enough to fight during the wars of beleriand?
Gil-galad was born in Eldamar during the years of the trees. He was not a child during the Noldor exile. But he was relatively young. Do you think gil-galad participated in battles such as dagor aglareb, dagor bragollach, nirnaeth arnoediad, fall of falas, war of wrath? I don't see any reason...
As you all know, the sindar prince of doriath, celeborn, actively fought in some wars in the war of the ring and all the wars in war of the elves and sauron, even in war of the last alliance. But the only thing that tolkien doesn't dwell on about celeborn is whether celeborn participated in the...
Fellow humans.
I was wondering if anyone has calculated the timeline of Middle Earth to Earth transformation? Is there even a current consensus on whether Tolkien meant that Middle Earth became earth, as I remember reading in a few places?
This is the necessary pretense to be followed by my...
According to the maps below, the size of beleriand is about the size of the eriador. Do you think this is really true? Was the middle-earth of the third age much larger than beleriand, as in these two pictures?
Of the march of the host of the Valar to the north of Middle-earth little is said in any tale; for among them went none of those Elves who had dwelt and suffered in the Hither Lands, and who made the histories of those days that still are known; and tidings of these things they only learned long...
War of wrath lasted 43 years. Dagor bragollach lasted about 2 years. Nirnaeth arnoediad lasted 6 days. Dagor-nuin-giliath lasted 10 days. Siege of Angband lasted 400 years. But during the siege of Angband there were no serious events that could be called war. So it was just an act of...
Who do you think can be the character who has fought the most in wars of beleriand and wars of jewels, including all wars? I think it's celebrimbor. If true, it says on lotr.fandom that he fought all in these wars and battles.
Dagor-nuin-Giliath
Dagor Aglareb
Dagor Bragollach
Nirnaeth Arnoediad...
List of commanders of both good and evil in all the battles of Beleriand and the War of the Ring. I did not add to the list those who later betrayed during the war, and who commanded only in kinslayings and wars between dwarves and elves. The reason why I open this topic and present them is to...
There are 22 wars of beleriand with known the including kinslayings. But were there any other nameless and unknown wars that were not one of the six great wars of beleriand, to the extent of military wars, like battle of lammoth, battle of tumhalad, fall of gondolin, fall of falas? for example...
