Encyclopedia of Arda: War of the Last Alliance

The war at the end of the Second Age in which the Last Alliance of Elves and Men marched against the fortress of Sauron, Barad-dûr in Mordor. Both Elves and Men still had great power in those days, and they were victorious, but Sauron rose again in the long years of the Third Age.

Notes

1	II 3429 was the date of Sauron's sudden assault on Minas Ithil, the event that triggered the War. In fact, the Last Alliance was not itself formed until the following year, II 3430.
