Part Two
Oropher returned to Doriath to find it a tomb. The dead were everywhere. There were Noldor all around as well the citizens of Doriath. By Eru, where was Gwaelas? He began to run from room to room, hunting frantically, hoping he wouldn’t find her. He turned over body after body, but she was nowhere to be found.
He found a few people who had somehow hidden huddled in the kitchen. He took control and organized a hunt for survivors, hoping against hope to find Thranduil and Gwaelas. They found no one else alive.
Oropher wanted to hunt his wife and son, but common decency would not allow him to leave all these people lying dead. He and the others began to dig graves. The dead were too many to dig a grave for each so they buried them in mass graves, wrapped in sheets and draperies and lined in rows. The king and queen, he buried in a grave together. The Noldor, he buried in the forest and did not mark their graves with stones as he had his neighbors and friends. The task took all day and into the next.
In the dead of night, he left Doriath forever.
