This battle was a disastrous attack led by the sons of Feanor and their followers. The survivors of Doriath and the Drúedain refugees from the fall of the Haladin came also to the Mouths of Sirion. Having heard that Elwing escaped Doriath with a Silmaril, the sons of Feanor tracked her down to the Havens of Sirion. Here the battle was fought and Elwing escaped, but Amrod and Amras fell at this battle along with Dírhaval and Egalmoth.
In the aftermath, Elrond and Elros were captured by Maglor and Maedhros--Maglor spared them and came to love them. Maglor raised the twins as his own and took pity upon them. Cirdan the Shipwright and Gil-Galad sent aid to the Havens but arrived too late. The survivors all gathered at the Isle of Balar.
