 | | The battle begins with an all out attack up the hill by the dwarven vanguard, led by Thráin, which is pushed back into the trees near the lake. | | | Of course, as the book describes: the One Ring perishes in mount Doom: Sauron's life force is banished: his fortresses fall suddenly in ruin, and his minions of the dark - orcs and trolls - flee in abject fear. | | | What can make this otherwise "walkover" battle (for the "good guys") interesting is this personal confrontation between the commander champions. |

| | What is your favorite LOTR Battle and why? |
| | Most exciting battle, for me, would have to be The Fall of Gondolin from The Book of Lost Tales II. | | | The descriptions of this battle in the Book of Lost Tales II was better than that in The Silmarillion, IMO. | | | Sometimes its helms deep, i just love the way they fight with absolutely no chance of winning, i love the tension when you see the orc torches marching over the horizon, I love the line "the war has started" i love the way the first orc falls, and all hell breaks loose. |

| | The Witch-king had filled Angmar with evil creatures and men, and though most of these were destroyed when Gondor and Lindon defeated the Witch-king's army in the Battle of Fornost, it seems that northern Eriador was never again wholly free of evil creatures. | | | But Tolkien writes that his heirs (presumably starting with Amlaith of Fornost, eldest son of the last High King of Arnor and first king of Arthedain) moved the royal residence to Fornost Erain. | | | There must have been traffic between Fornost Erain and Tharbad, where Arnor had once maintained a garrison alongside a Gondorian garrison, and probably Cardolan's kings had retained the garrison under their control. |
