* Gil-galad, a young child, is sent to the Havens of the Falas for protection.
* Barahir refuses to give up on Dorthonion and forms a group of outlaws who seek to thwart the designs of Morgoth. There are thirteen members of the group: Dagnir, Ragnor, Radhruin, Dairuin, Gildor, Gorlim the Unhappy, Urthel, Arthad, Hathaldir; Barahir, his son Beren, and his kinsmen Belegund and Baragund.
