Third Kinslaying

The Third Kinslaying was the third, final, and cruelest of the slayings of Elf by Elf, by the Sons of Fëanor.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XXIV: "Of the Voyage of Eärendil and the War of Wrath"
== History ==
=== Prelude ===
When Maedhros and Maglor heard that Elwing had survived the Ruin of Doriath and was keeping the Silmaril at the Havens of Sirion, they prepared an army to attack the Havens and take the Silmaril by force.
=== The battle ===
In FA 538,The History of Middle-earth, Vol. 11: The War of the Jewels, V. The Tale of Years the Sons of Fëanor attacked the Havens. Amrod and Amras both died in the battle, but the Havens were destroyed and practically all who had survived the prior ruin of Doriath were slain. The only survivors of the battle among the defenders were Elwing and her two sons, Elros and Elrond. With the help of Ulmo, Elwing was able to escape with the Silmaril and reach her husband Eärendil, who was out at sea on his ship, the Vingilotë. The brothers spared the lives of the two boys, Elros and Elrond, and Maglor grew fond of them and treated them almost as if they were his own.
=== Consequences ===
With the death of Amrod and Amras, Maedhros and Maglor were the only remaining sons of Fëanor left alive in Middle-earth, nor did they seem to have any followers left. Eönwë, the herald of Manwë, declared that because of their evil deeds the remaining Sons of Fëanor had lost all right to the Silmarils.
