Description
Morgoth attacks the Haladin people. Haldad is slain, but his daughter Haleth leads the Haladin against the orcs. Three Houses of men emerge: the people of Hador Lórindol who develop the common tongue of Númenor; the Haladin; and the people of Bëor. The men grow strong and add their strength to that of the Elves. But they become intertwined with the Doom of the Noldor.
Three friends read and react to the greatest story you've never heard — the Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien.

"Haldad had twin children: Haleth his daughter, and Haldar his son; and both were valiant in the defence, for Haleth was a woman of great heart and strength. But at last Haldad was slain in a sortie against the Orcs; and Haldar, who rushed out to save his father's body from their butchery, was hewn down beside him. Then Haleth held the people together, though they were without hope; and some cast themselves in the rivers and were drowned. But seven days later, as the Orcs made their last assault and had already broken through the stockade, there came suddenly a music of trumpets, and Caranthir with his host came down from the north and drove the Orcs into the rivers."
