There ended Finrod Felagund, fairest of all the Noldor, his oath to Barahir redeemed at the last.

When the wolf came for Beren, Finrod put forth all his power, burst his bonds, and slew it with his bare hands, but alas at the cost of his own life. But being unable to discern their identities or purpose, he sent werewolves to devour them one by one, until only Finrod and Beren were left. The two strove against each other in songs of power, but ultimately, Sauron had the mastery, and, stripping them of their disguises, he held them prisoner in Tol-in-Gaurhoth. Thus befell the renowned contest of Finrod and Sauron. However, in passing Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the company were captured by Sauron. By the arts of the Elven-lord, they were disguised as Orcs. With ten companions, Beren and Finrod set out for Angband. Upon hearing Beren's plight, Finrod was dispirited, for he perceived the Oath of Fëanor to be at work. The Quest Begins ĭeparting Doriath and beginning in earnest his Quest, Beren travelled to Nargothrond, seeking the help of Finrod Felagund, who had aforetime sworn an oath to Barahir to come to the aid of his kin in need. Only then would he would allow Beren to receive Lúthien as his bride. Before the court of Thingol, Beren declared his love for Lúthien, and in his anger, Thingol set upon Beren a task he deemed impossible: to retrieve a Silmaril from the Iron Crown of Morgoth. But Daeron the minstrel reported this to Thingol and Beren was brought to the King in Menegroth. 465 Beren spoke to her, calling her Tinúviel, and doom was written for Man and Elf-maiden, and the two fell in love with each other. There, a spell of dumbness fell upon Beren due to Lúthien's great beauty and he spent long wandering in Doriath seeking her. 464 at mid-summer, Beren, son of Barahir, came into Doriath and chanced upon Lúthien - daughter of Thingol, King of Doriath, and Melian the Maia - dancing in the woods of Neldoreth. Tolkien, is detailed in the book Beren and Lúthien (2017), with one of the earliest iterations given in The Book of Lost Tales as The Tale of Tinúviel. Moreover, the Quest, and its conception and evolution by author J.R.R. The Quest was immortalised in the Elvish poetic epic, the Lay of Leithian, and is also told in the nineteenth chapter of the Quenta Silmarillion. Beren was aided in the Quest by Lúthien herself, King Finrod Felagund of Nargothrond and Huan the Hound of Valinor. This was the price set upon Beren by Thingol, King of Doriath, for his daughter Lúthien's hand in marriage. The Quest for the Silmaril was the pursuit of Beren Erchamion for a Silmaril from the Iron Crown of Morgoth during the First Age. ' Then he drew forth the knife Angrist and from the iron claws that held it he cut a Silmaril.' ― Of Beren in The Silmarillion, ' Of Beren and Lúthien' Doriath, Nargothrond, Tol-in-Gaurhoth, Angband
