Much that once was is lost...

Ecthelion slew two dragons and three Balrogs before facing Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, whilst he was on the verge of death. Swordless, he plunged his helm-spike into Gothmog and drowned him in a fountain.

Mighty are the deeds of Ecthelion, and you honor him with an image clearly from the first age!

Didn't Feanor fend off 3 of them at the same time along with a large number of Orcs while chasing down Morgoth? IIRC, the way he died was he bled out after his fellows caught up to him a long while later at which time he was still fighting.

Is it not a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt for so small a thing?
