The Ruin of Doriath or Second Kinslaying was an attack on Doriath under Thingol's grandson Dior, by an army led by the Sons of Fëanor.
History[]
Prelude[]
When it became known that Dior inherited the Silmaril from his father Beren, the Sons of Fëanor demanded the return of the precious and priceless holy jewel. When their demands went unanswered, the brothers assembled an army to attack Doriath and take the Silmaril by force.
Battle and final fall of Doriath[]
The Sons of Fëanor came upon the realm in the middle of winter of FA 506 and fought with the Elves of Doriath in the Thousand Caves. For the Elves of Doriath, the battle was lost, but before Dior fell he slew Celegorm himself. Fëanor's other sons Caranthir and Curufin were also killed. Dior's wife Nimloth was slain as well; their twin sons Eluréd and Elurín were taken into the local woods by Celegorm's cruel servants and left to die. This disturbed Maedhros greatly, causing him to go back to search for them, but they could not be found.
Afterwards[]
The realm of the fair Elven Kingdom of Doriath fell, never to rise again. Even with their victory, the remaining Sons of Fëanor did not recover the Silmaril for Dior and Nimloth's daughter Elwing escaped with the Silmaril to the Havens of Sirion.[1]
