Battle of Dagorlad

The Battle of Dagorlad occurred in the year 3434 of the Second Age. It was fought between the army of The Last Alliance of Elves and Men under Gil-galad and Elendil and an army of Orcs and other creatures loyal to Sauron. The battle took place on the great, treeless, open plain of Dagorlad (Battle Plain), between Cirith Gorgor and what would later be called The Dead Marshes.

There was great loss on either side, but Sauron was defeated and fled back to Barad-dûr. After the Battle was won came another seven long and bitter years of siege, but Sauron was finally defeated and the Second Age came to an end.
