| After the disaster of the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]], the northern land of [[Dor-lómin]] was overrun by [[Easterlings]] in the service of [[Morgoth]]. The [[Grey-elves]] who dwelt in [[Mithrim]] took shelter in the hills, and their leader [[Annael]] brought them to the caves of Androth, where they survived in secret for many years. With them was a young [[Tuor]], whom [[Annael]] had fostered, and he grew to the age of sixteen hiding with the [[Elves]] among the caverns.
| | Androth was the name of a complex of caves in the [[Mountains of Mithrim]]. After [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]], some of the [[Sindar]] and [[Edain]] that survived the battle took refuge there. [[Tuor]] was fostered by the [[Elves]] of Androth. |
| | |
| At last, [[Annael]] determined to leave Androth, planning to lead his people into the south, to the [[Havens]] at the [[Mouths of Sirion]]. His plan was foiled when the [[Easterlings]] attacked and defeated the [[Elves]], and took [[Tuor]] into servitude. After three years, he escaped, and fled back to his old home in the caves of Androth, which were now deserted and empty. He lived there alone as an outlaw for four more years, but at last he left the caves of Androth behind him, and set out westwards across [[Dor-lómin]] to meet his destiny.
