Ancalagon of Angband by book-illustrator
During the War of Wrath, the Valar waged their final war on Morgoth. Their victory was at hand, with most of the Dark Lord’sBalrogs and other troops destroyed. But then, Morgoth unleashed the winged dragons, with Ancalagon at their van. Ancalagon drove back the forces of the Valar, but was stopped by Eärendil. Ancalagon was no match for the mariner, who sailed through the skies in the shipVingilot, with the Silmaril upon his brow. Ancalagon was cast down and fell atopThangorodrim, breaking its mighty towers.
