And Tuor came into Nevrast, and looking upon Belegaer the Great Sea he was enamoured of it ... when the autumn came he saw seven great swans flying south..., and he followed their flight along the shores of the sea. Thus he came at length to the deserted halls of Vinyamar beneath Mount Taras, and he entered in, and found there the shield and hauberk, and the sword and helm, that Turgon had left there by the command of Ulmo long before....
