Losgar
The landing of the Host of Fëanor in Losgar
"It has been told that Fëanor and his sons came first of the Exiles to Middle-earth, and landed in the waste of Lammoth, the Great Echo, upon the outer shores of the Firth of Drengist. And even as the Noldor set foot upon the strand their cries were taken up into the hills and multiplied, so that a clamour as of countless mighty voices filled all the coasts of the North; and the noise of the burning of the ships at Losgar went down the winds of the sea as a tumult of great wrath, and far away all who heard that sound were filled with wonder."
– J.R.R. Tolkien,The Silmarillion, Chapter 13: "Of the Return of the Noldor"
– J.R.R. Tolkien,The Silmarillion, Chapter 13: "Of the Return of the Noldor"
Inspired by the burning of ships in "The Silmarillion" and it's story variation from "The History of Middle-earth" vol. XII.
"The ships were anchored off the shore (...) In the night Fëanor, filled with malice, aroused Curufin, and with him and a few of those most close to Fëanor in obedience he went to the ships and set them all aflame; and the dark sky was red as with a terrible dawn."

Story notes:
- "Atar" means "father" in Quenya.
- "Atarinkë" - "Little Father" - is Curufin's "mother-name" given in Quenya
