Description

Melkor was the most powerful of the Ainur, but turned to darkness and became Morgoth, from whom all evil in the world of Middle-earth ultimately stems and the ultimate antagonist of Arda. This scene is during the Battle of Sudden Flame, before he defeats Fingolfin. He holds Grond his hammer in his left hand but we only see the tip of its claw in this image.
