The Lord of the Rings movies are known for their epic battles, but they are nothing compared to the battles Tolkien described to have come before.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The world of The Lord of the Rings is known for its epic battles, but the most significant of these happened long before Frodo inherited the One Ring. Tolkien's lore goes back thousands of years, and the conflicts between the forces of good and evil make up the bulk of the author's works.
9 Battle of the Fields of Celebrant Compared to conflicts involving Morgoth, the Battle of the Fields of Celebrant was relatively small. Still, it was essential to The Lord of the Rings since it resulted in the birth of the kingdom of Rohan . Gondor had been under attack from the Balchoth, raiders from the East, who were joined by the Orcs. Just as it looked like Gondor would fall, the ancestors to the Riders of Rohan, the Eotheod, came to the kingdom's rescue.
6 Dagor-Nuin-Giliath After the Kinslayings, Feanor led his people to Middle-earth on a tumultuous journey. The group wound up divided , and the King of the Noldor was even more determined to reclaim his Silmarils from Morgoth. Hoping to wipe them out before they could reach him, the Dark Lord sent a host of werewolves and Orcs to the Noldor encampment, and a battle ensued. Though the Elves fought mightily, especially Feanor, he ultimately fell when Gothmog, Lord of the Balrogs, joined the fight.
4 The Dagor Bragollach About 25 years before Nirnaeth Arnoediad, Morgoth had won another massive battle against the Elves, this time the Eldar Elves of Nargothrond. Also called the Battle of Sudden Flame, the battle began when Morgoth sent rivers of flame, which emitted deadly fumes, to overtake his enemy at night. Then, the Dark Lord sent Balrogs and Orcs to lay waste to anyone who had survived.
