The final episode of the Quenta Silmarillion series will have to be feature-length – between two and three hours long. It will be the War of Wrath in it’s entirety.
Unfortunately since the War of Wrath in the text covers but a few pages most of the content, like character and battle movements will have to be created for the series. All character stories and arcs for the First Age will have to be wrapped up.

The Havens

Dorthonion

• Eonwe gathers the forces from across the lands in Dorthonion, readying their attack on Angband.

Angband

• Sauron suggest Morgoth and he go forth to take on the Valar with their full might. Morgoth refuses to leave Angband, but sends Sauron out onto Anfauglith, emptying all Angband. The host assembled on the plain numbers in the millions.

Anfauglith

• Maedhros and Maglor look upon the Host of Morgoth and despair. They retreat back.

Gondolin

• Earendil from his ship looks upon the ruins of Gondolin. He desends into Tumladen and calls the Eagles to him.

Anfauglith

• The Host of the Valar is gathered on the edge of Anfauglith. Eonwe speaks on behalf of Manwe, leading the Valar, Maiar, Elves, Men and Dwarves toward Angband.

• The Great Battle begins.
• The balrogs are destroyed one by one until only a few remain. They flee.
• Eonwe battles Sauron and emerges victorious. Sauron retreats back into Angband.
• The elves and men gain the upper hand against the orcs. Easterlings march against the elves, killing many.
• Maedhros and Maglor watch the battle. Refusing to let their pride get the better of them once more, they ride in and join the battle, saving Finarfin.

Angband

• Sauron returns to Morgoth, saying the field is lost. Morgoth does not surrender, sending out his last hope – the winged dragons.
• Ancalagon the Black comes forth from Angband. Impossibly huge, he dwarfs even the peaks of Thangorodrim.
• Great thunder, lightning and fire from Thangorodrim accompanies the dragons. The field is set alight.

Anfaugith

• Eonwe orders a retreat. Not even the might of Tulkas can stand against Ancalagon.
• Earendil comes forth with the Eagles, Vingilot shining with white flame. The men and elves recognise it as the Star of High Hope.
• The Eagles take down the dragons. The Host of the Valar goes forth once more, fighting among flame and ruin.

• Earendil with Thorondor battles Ancalagon. Eventually he throws down Ancalagon upon Thangorodrim, breaking the towers and the mountains of Angband. Dust and ash covers the entire battle.
• A great earthquake rips through Beleriand. Mountains fall and forests are drowned. A great number of people are killed in the waters.

Belegaer

• The Teleri witness the destruction from their ships. With the lands in front of them now under water, they sail northward, rescuing many caught in the waters.

Anfauglith

• The Host hails Earendil.
• Eonwe sounds the trumpets once again. The Host of the Valar move forth to Angband.

• The doors to Angband are broken and the Host floods in.

• Tulkas chains Morgoth with Angainor, the same chain he was imprisoned with thousands of years ago.
• Eonwe cuts the Silmarils from Morgoth’s crown. Tulkas beats the crown into a collar for Morgoth’s neck.

Anfauglith

• Earendil finds Elrond and Elros upon the battlefield. He tells them of his punishment, that he can no longer set foot on Middle Earth, and also of their choice between elves and men. He asks his sons to go to Valinor with the Host, but if they are to live on Middle-Earth not to stay with the Sons of Feanor. They say goodbye.

• Maedhros and Maglor confront Eonwe. They demand the Silmarils back to fulfil their Oath. Eonwe refuses, saying they have no right to the jewels because of their evil deeds and must return to Valinor and await judgment.
• Maglor desires to return, but Maedhros does not, prepared to face even the Host of Valinor to fulfil his Oath.
• Maedhros and Maglor disguise themselves and steal the Silmarils from Eonwe’s camp. The Host raises arms against them. Eonwe lets them go.

Belegaer

• Eonwe and Earendil lead the Host of the Valar back to Valinor upon the ships of the Teleri.
• Cirdan, Galadriel, Celeborn, Gil-Galad and Elrond do not go back upon the ships, instead choosing to journey into the east and found new settlements.
• Elros however, chooses to be counted among men and leads the Edain out of Beleriand.

Valinor

• Earendil is reunited with Elwing.
• Morgoth is brought before Manwe. The Valar cast Morgoth out of the Door of Night.

Middle Earth

• Maedhros cannot bear the pain of the Silmaril as it burns his hands. Despairing of his oath and his past deeds, he cries to his father and, clutching the Silmaril to his chest, casts himself into a chasm of fire.

• Maglor cannot bear the pain either and casts the Silmaril into the sea. He curses himself to walk alone upon the shores until the end of days.
• (Third Age) Elrond begs Maglor to forgive himself and return to dwell among the Noldor. Maglor cannot be at peace with his past actions and returns to walking alone.

(Post-Credits) Sauron finds the land of Mordor.
