Template:Campaignbox Wars of Beleriand The Siege of Angband in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth fictional universe, was the leaguer of the Noldor around the fortress of Morgoth in the early centuries of the Years of the Sun, which began following the Dagor Aglareb. Fingolfin and Fingon kept watch from Hithlum; Finrod and then Orodreth from Tol Sirion; Angrod and Aegnor from Dorthonion; and the sons of Fëanor watched the east.
The siege was incomplete, as Morgoth was still capable of sending out various forces of orcs through secret passages extending out from the towers of Thangorodrim to harass the Elves. The Noldor had grown strong enough, though, that these task forces posed no significant threat. However, the Noldor and their allies possessed insufficient force to assault Angband directly. After about four hundred years, the Siege was broken in the Dagor Bragollach; an onslaught of fire and ash Morgoth issued from Thangorodrim. Among this time the siege defiled Lake Helevorn, which was the shore of Thargelion.
