The Kin-strife was a 15-year long civil war of Gondor, occurring Third Age 1432 - 1447.
The war happened when Castamir attacked his second cousin Eldacar of Gondor for marrying a woman of Rhovanion rather than a Gondorian.
Major battles include the Siege of Osgiliath, the Battle of the Crossings of Erui, and the Siege of Pelargir.
The war led to the loss of the Osgiliath palantír, the breaking of the Dome of Stars, the execution of Eldacar's son Ornendil and the loss of Umbar to the Corsairs, but Eldacar did win the war and killed his opponent Castamir.
