Quote Prompt

“Yet neither by wolf, nor by Balrog, nor by Dragon, would Morgoth have achieved his end, but for the treachery of Men.”

Summary Prompt

The Nirnaeth Arnoediad was one of the bloodiest battles of the First Age, resulting in the death of King Fingon, among others. It was a significant win for Morgoth.
​​​​
Thematic Prompt

Thingol gives leave to two people, Mablung and Beleg, to leave Doriath and participate in the battle, so long as they do not fight under the banners of the sons of Feanor. Imagine the conversation between these two and their King, or any conversation between someone and another person who holds power over them, in asking for permission to do something unpopular, as your prompt for today.
