Assault of Angband

This was the first assault on Angband. The Valar attacked Angband and refused to cleanse it totally of all evil. Here Sauron was sent to command under orders of Melkor. While Sauron commanded the vast evil Maiar legions and continued the orc breeding set up by Melkor, Melkor summoned all evil Nameless and corrupted Spirits of Arda to Utumno. Sauron knew them not, but Melkor had the very best of the Nameless to do battle with the Valar at Utumno. In the end Sauron's forces would yield to the Host of the West and retreat deep underground. The Valar would let them live and pursue Melkor at his fortress of Utumno.
