Somebody, help me again. I worked out the Aluin thing, well kinda, anyway. What is the deal with the war of Palisor. How could it be work?

Details concerning the Battle of Palisor can be found in Book of Lost Tales 1, Gilfanon's Tale, where it is stated that
A servant of Melko named 'Fúkil or Fangli' entered the world, and coming among Men perverted them, so that they fell treacherously upon the Ilkorins; there followed the Battle of Palisor, in which the people of Ermon fought beside Nuin. According to A 'the fays and those Men that aided them were defeated', but B calls it an 'undecided battle'; and the Men corrupted by Fangli fled away and became 'wild and savage tribes', worshipping Fangli and Melko. Thereafter (in A only) palisor was possessed by 'Fangli and his hosts of Nauglath (or Dwarves)'. (In the early writings the Dwarves are always portrayed as an evil people.)

Palisor was the land where the Elves awoke, so that Koi-Vieni (later Cúivienen), is a lake in the land of Palisor.
