I thinkt that this story was skipt by Tolkien. There is no trace of it found in Adanel's Tale nor in Myths Transformed Text II. Thus Ermon and Elmir were lost, which is good since these names are to much bound into northern Mythology.
Nuin on the other hand left, may be some, traces as we knew that men had early in thier history contact to Elves (Avari, see MT Text II).
The same could be said about Tu (Túvo) since in GA §§79-80 we here about Morgoth dealings with Men and are told that 'his spies were watchful, and tidings soon came to him of the arising of Men. ... this desgin was slow to ripen, ... Morgoth ... came back to Angband, leaving behind at that time but few servants, and those of less might and cunning.' Tu feels for me much like one of these spies and / or servant of less might and cunning.
