Faenor frantically gestures to his lieutenant, Pelinel, and both fire into the Orc-pack.

"Dago hon!" Faenor cries, focusing down the Orc leader, a massive brutish creature, as the group of Doriathrin archer-scouts are surrounded yet again.

Pelinel fires, taking the leader through the throat, and the orcs rout as the Elves rest from the constant attacks.

"We need to make it back through the Crossings. Once we're past the Fens, we're home free." Pelinel says.

"We're surrounded. If we try to make a break for it without drawing out their forces on the ford itself, we might as well shoot ourselves." Faenor replies, looking over a crag, only to duck back down again as an Orc-arrow strikes sparks as it flie over his head.

With a barely audible curse in Sindarin Faenor stands and fires, purely on instinct. His insight is rewarded with a startled cry and he drops back down again just in time as several more arrows begin whizzing through the air.

An Elf-horn sounds, and the air begins to ring with the cries of orcs and the hiss-thwack of arrows finding their mark.

"My lord Thingol would not have known we were here..." Begins Pelinel, but he is cut off by Faenor.

"And those are no trumpets of the Sindar." the elder Sinda says, and rises to see the Ñoldor for the first time since the shores of Beleriand.

A single one strides up to them, red plumed helm a stark contrast to the grey crests of the others.

"Elen síla lúmenn omentielvo. I am Celegorm, son of Fëanor." he says, the words strange to all but Faenor.

"I am Faenor called Celebrî, son of the Waters(by this he meant Cuiviénen). Tell me, what brings the Tatyar back to Endorë?" he asks.

Celegorm raises an eyebrow at the archaic term.

"We are the Ñoldor, Dark Elf, and we have come to save you from Morgoth." he replies, tone haughty now.

"We"at this Faenor gestured to his soldiers" are the Eglath of Beleriand, and not Avari. We serve Elu Thingol."

(The Ñoldor were the first to call the Sindar that: The original name of the Sindar were the Eglath, the Forsaken)
