He seldom came out of it again, but did when challenged to single combat by the ] king ] and earlier to investigate the first appearance of Men. He reigned there until the end of the First Age, when it was destroyed in the ]. In earlier versions of Tolkien's mythology (see '']'') it was called '''Angamando''', the ] form of the name. |
