The people of NĂșmenor strove to avoid death, but this only weakened them and sped the gradual diminishing of their lifespans. Sauron urged them to wage war against the Valar to seize the immortality denied them. Ar-PharazĂŽn raised the mightiest army and fleet NĂșmenor had ever seen, and sailed against Aman. The Valar and Elves of Aman, stricken with grief over their betrayal, called on IlĂșvatar for help. When Ar-PharazĂŽn landed, IlĂșvatar destroyed his forces and sent a great wave to submerge NĂșmenor, killing all but those NĂșmenĂłreans who had remained loyal to the Valar.

Most of Beleriand sank into the sea; the Valar expelled Melkor from Arda. This ended the First Age of Middle-earth. The last two Silmarils were seized by FĂ«anor's sons, Maedhros and Maglor. However, because of the evil way the brothers had gained the Silmarils, they were no longer worthy to receive them, and the Silmarils burnt their hands. In anguish, Maedhros killed himself by leaping into a fiery chasm with his Silmaril, while Maglor threw his jewel into the sea and spent the rest of his days wandering along the shores of the world, singing his grief. 863: 9295: 9808: 1024: 967: 2499: 9796: 2257: 1770: 9844: 1515:, working mostly with the theological and philosophical underpinnings of the work rather than with the narratives.
