and Angrist the knife of Beren which was used to cut a Silmaril from Morgoth's crown.

The downfall of Nogrond came about when some of its Dwarf craftsmen, staying in Menegroth, were asked by King Thingol of the Grey-elves to set the priceless Silmaril gem in the golden necklace called Nauglamír. The craftsmen were overcome by greed, slew Thingol and stole the necklace. Before they could escape, they were slain in retaliation and the necklace was returned to Menegroth. Enraged, the Dwarves of Nogrod sent out a large army, sacked Menegroth and once again took the necklace. However, before they could safely return to Nogrod, the Dwarf army was ambushed by Beren and Dior and, with the aid of the Laiquendi and the Ents, the entire army was slaughtered. At the end of the First Age Nogrod, along with Belegost and most of Beleriand, sank into the sea.
