[Morgoth the Great]

but he didnt wipe them all out, is my point. he did overthrow them(only to be beaten himself) but he did not wipe out the last remnants of them. maybe i got the jist of it incorrectly, but not all the Noldor were slain. almost of them were, it is true, but i thought it was whether he had complete dominance over them, which he did not, as some escaped.
