At the Nirnaeth Arnoediad Huor tells Turgon
I always assumed that this prophesy referred to Earendil, since he came from Turgon and Huor's houses. But then I realized, Aragorn is also descended from Turgon and Huor, and his elvish name is Estel, which means hope. Also, one of his titles is...
Interestingly enough, when I asked a question to the AI named Poe, it told me about Turin Turambar and said that Turin participated in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad in early versions. However, it said this idea was later abandoned by Tolkien. Is this true? Are there early versions where Turin...
Annael, Tuor's stepfather, was the leader of a grey elf union in Mithrim in the First Age. It is said that he lived in Beleriand before the Noldor returned to Middle Earth and even fought in the First Battle. So, do you think Annael fought in Dagor Bragollach, Nirnaeth Arnoediad and War of...
Did galdor, the elven lord of gondolin fight in other wars of beleriand besides fighting in the fall of gondolin? Do you think galdor of the tree fought in dagor bragollach, nirnaeth arnoediad and war of wrath?
As you all know, there are many different versions of the celeborn's life story. But according to the accepted life story, namely the version that he met and married with Galadriel in Doriath, Did celeborn fight in dagor bragollach, nirnaeth arnoediad and war of wrath? there were sindar elves in...
It is written on this site that the Mordor army at the siege of Gondor consisted of 600,000 soldiers.

When I add cirdan to the list of nirnaeth arnoediad commanders on the tolkiengateway site, it is removed. As a reason, they say that there are no reference sources from the books. Is there any book source or official written source that shows that the falathrim elves you know existed in the...
Of all the characters created by Tolkien, cirdan is the most uncertain whether he exists in wars or not. Do you think Cirdan fought in Nirnaeth Arnoediad and War of Wrath?
An official on the tolkiengateway site told me that the falas elves and cirdan's participation in the nirnaeth arnoediad were subsequently removed from the silmarillion and canon. Is that true? what are you thinking? Did the falas elves and cirdan nirnaeth arnoediad also fight?
You all know that Turin was only 8 years old when the battle of the Nirnaeth Arnoediad took place. So why didn't Tolkien bring Turin turambar to a more mature age when the battle happened place and take battle with his father Hurin? Don't you think it's a great shortcoming that turin is not in...
We all know what happened at the Battle of Unnumbered Tears. However, in the Silmarillion it is clearly written, "some have said that even then the Eldar might have won the day, had all their hosts proved faithful;". I have my own opinion formulated about what would have resulted from an Eldar...
Nirnaeth Arnoediad means, as you all know, Unnumbered tears, but did it have to be that way? Was there absolutely no way that the elvenhost could have overthrown that of Morgoth? From the Silmarillion, "Of the fifth battle"
