Host of the West

The Host of Valinor, also known as the Host of the West, was a great force that crossed the Sea from Aman and defeated Morgoth in the War of Wrath, which ended the First Age.
== History ==
Moved by the words of Eärendil the Mariner, the Valar agreed to come to Beleriand and confront Morgoth. In FA 545, they assembled a great force led by the Maia Eönwë that consisted of the Vanyar and Ñoldor Elves of Valinor (under Ingwion and Finarfin), Manwë and presumably all the Valar, and the Teleri, who agreed only to provide and sail the ships bearing across the Sea. In Beleriand this host was quickly joined by the gathered Edain.
They met the forces sent by Morgoth in Anfauglith and easily defeated them, but as they approached the Gates of Angband, they were driven back by the great winged Dragons led by Ancalagon the Black. Eärendil came forth, and was joined by the Eagles led by Thorondor; they reinforced the Host of the Valar and defeated the forces of Morgoth. Ancalagon himself was slain, and destroyed the towers of Thangorodrim in his fall. Finally, the host routed all remaining foes in the pits of Angband, and captured Morgoth, effectively ending his reign in Middle-earth.
This Host was prophesied to assemble once more for the Dagor Dagorath at the end of days (after Morgoth's return from behind the Door of Night), in which they would be victorious.
