There Morgoth stood at last at bay, and yet unvaliant. He fled into the deepest of his mines, and sued for peace and pardon; but his feet were hewn from under him, and he was hurled upon his face. ~ The Silmarillion, Chapter 24 (Tulkas defeats Morgoth by lomehir, deviantART

But when Glaurung felt his death-pang, he screamed, and in his dreadful throe he heaved up his bulk and hurled himself across the chasm, and there lay lashing and coiling in his agony. And he set all in a blaze about him, and beat all to ruin, until at last his fires died, and he lay still. ~ The Silmarillion, Chapter 21 (from deviantART: 1. Turin vs Glaurung by mattleese87, 2. The Death of Glaurung by lomehir, 3. Death of Glaurung - Emyn Muil by Ian6Black, 4. Glaurung and Turambar by SVSilent; and also: 5. “The Slaying of Glaurung” by Ted Nasmith)

Ever in the forefront of that battle went Gwindor and the Elves of Nargothrond, and even now they could not be restrained; and they burst through the Gate and slew the guards upon the very stairs of Angband, and Morgoth trembled upon his deep throne, hearing them beat upon his doors. ~ The Silmarillion, Chapter 20 (Morgoth and the Silmarilli by lomehir, deviantART)

But Maeglin, the King's sister-son, who was mighty in Gondolin, grieved not at all at their going, though he begrudged them the favour of the King, for he had no love for any of the kindred of Men; and he said to Húrin: “The King's grace is greater than you know, and the law is become less stern than aforetime; or else no choice would be given you but to abide here to your life's end.” ~ The Silmarillion, Chapter 18 (Maeglin The Traidor by lomehir, deviantART)

And Húrin said to Turgon: "Lord, we are but mortal Men, and unlike the Eldar. They may endure for long years awaiting battle with their enemies in some far distant day; but for us the time is short, and our hope and strength soon wither...” ~ The Silmarillion, Chapter 18 (Hurin and Huorn by lomehir, deviantART)

Then Haleth held the people together, though they were without hope; and some cast themselves in the rivers and were drowned. ~ The Silmarillion, Chapter 17 (Haleth by lomehir, deviantART)
