Eucatastrophe
“But Eärendil came, shining with white flame, and about Vingilot were gathered all the great birds of heaven and Thorondor was their captain, and there was battle in the air all the day and through a dark night of doubt. Before the rising of the sun Eärendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the mightiest of the dragon-host, and cast him down from the sky; and he fell upon the towers of Thangorodrim, and they were broken in his ruin.” J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion
Here, Eärendil the Mariner brings light, hope, and victory to the lands of Arda by leading the charge against Morgoth. His arrival signals that, at long last, the rule of Morgoth is finally over, that elves, men, and all other folk will soon be free, and that they may enjoy peace once more. It is THE happy ending of the Quenta Silmarillion.
