Battle of the Firth of Drengist

Early in the War of the Great Jewels, a battle at the Firth of Drengist occurred between the forces of Morgoth and the Ñoldor of Hithlum. 
==History==
Almost one hundred years after the Dagor Aglareb, Morgoth, believing that Fingolfin's watch was weak, chose to attack him from the west instead of from the northeast. Coming down from the cold north where no Elf would dare enter, they came down the coasts of Beleriand following the route of the exiles 155 years before and entered the Firth of Drengist, hoping to take the Elves by surprise but they were espied before they could do so. The Ñoldor, led by Fingon easily defeated them and drove the survivors into the sea. Afterwards, Morgoth choose to achieve his ends by stealth biding his time and waiting until his strength was built before he ever attacked in force again.
The battle was relatively small compared to those of past and was historically considered to be relatively unimportant despite the victory.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter IX: "Of the Flight of the Noldor"
