:Quenta Silmarillion, chapter 20 says that both [[Mablung]] and [[Beleg]] joined the fifth battle ([[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]). --<font face="georgia">[[User:Atethnekos|Atethnekos]] </font><font face="georgia" size="1">([[User talk:Atethnekos|Discussion]], [[Special:Contributions/Atethnekos|Contributions]])</font> 19:37, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
::Thank you. I guess if those two were mentioned by name it implies that no one else went. Is there any mention of the survivors of Doriath joining in the war of wrath? [[Special:Contributions/184.147.140.76|184.147.140.76]] ([[User talk:184.147.140.76|talk]]) 23:17, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
:::One thing to consider is that Mablung and Beleg were commanders of soldiers; if we as readers of the fiction are supposed to pretend that the Silmarillion is a quasi-historical account from this ancient world (and I think that's right)—and so therefore make some background assumptions about what is happening—I think an implication would be that the soldiers under Mablung and Beleg's command went with them.
:::Chapter 24, prior to the War of Wrath, says that the remaining sons of Fëanor destroyed the "exiles of Gondolin and the remnant of Doriath", so I guess that was the end of them. --<font face="georgia">[[User:Atethnekos|Atethnekos]] </font><font face="georgia" size="1">([[User talk:Atethnekos|Discussion]], [[Special:Contributions/Atethnekos|Contributions]])</font> 00:13, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
