The Host of Valinor

The Host of Valinor was the great force of Aman that defeated Morgoth at the end of the First Age.

Moved by the words of Eärendil the Valar agreed once again to move against Morgoth. They assembled a great force led by Eönwë that consisted of presumably all of Valar, Maiar and all the Elves of Valinor except for the Teleri, who agreed only to sail the ships to the shores of the Beleriand. The great army was quickly joined by the Edain. They met the forces sent by Morgoth in Anfauglith and easily defeated it but as they approached the gates of Angband, they were driven back by the great winged Dragons led Ancalagon The Black. But when Eärendil came forth joined by the Eagles led by Thorondor, they were reinforced and defeated them and Ancalagon was slain. The host routed all the remaining forces from the pits Angband capturing Morgoth and ending his reign on earth. Elements of this army may have remained in what was left of the Beleriand as Eönwë was instructing the Edain who would later inhabit Numenor.
