The Battle of the Powers or War of the Gods is the titanic battle between Morgoth and the Valar in the Years of the Trees.

Unlike the First War which was fought over the creation of Arda, this war was fought on Arda itself, the Valar marching to Morgoth's fortress of Utumno. For his deeds in the Marring of Arda and the destruction of the Two Lamps, as well as to protect the newborn race of Elves, the Valar lay siege to Utumno and broke its towers and crushed its gates, pulling Morgoth from it in chains. They cast him into the Halls of Mandos where he was trapped for Three Ages upon end. Although the Elves had no direct hand in this war, Morgoth would never forget the role they played in his downfall.
