War of the Elves and Sauron
War fought in Eriador, between 1693 and 1700 of the SeA, chiefly between the armies of Sauron and those of the Gwaith-i-Mírdain of Eregion. The conflict was sparked by Celebrimbor's discovery of the forging of the OneRing; Sauron's objective was to wrest from the Elves the remaining Rings of Power and bring the westlands under his sway. The war resulted in the utter annihilation of the last Noldorin realm in Middle-earth, as well as the depopulation of Eriador; it also constituted the first major military confrontation between Mordor and Númenor, which intervened in 1700 and destroyed Sauron's forces.
