I have no idea the Quenya word for Thangorodrim. :^/ But I liked your story. It is far more realistic than most, and I appreciate your efforts to counter the normal errors in the telling of it, where eagles hover, for instance. ;)
I've always wondered how Maitimo stayed alive for the duration of his time on Thangorodrim. The "Annals" suggest, iirc, that he was at least five years up there. Your explanation is the one I like best, with others being that Morgoth kept him alive (and I agree with your idea that Morgoth and Co. only know how to hurt, not to heal) or that Morgoth put an enchantment over him that he could not die.
