Osgiliath Invaded

After the fall of Minas Ithil to the Nazgul in 2002 Ithilien was deserted in 2954 and the refuge of Henneth Annun was made. For a while Sauron remained quiet in Ithilen but on June 20 3018 Sauron attacked. Soon the city was overunn by Uruks from Mordor and Minas Anor now Minas Tirith was in danger. But within days on July 4 the city was retaken by 20,000 men under Farimir and Borimir in an attempt to restore it to its former glory. But soon orcs started raiding the city again and Farimir with Borimir having left for Rivendell struggled to hold the city. Soon the Eastern half was overunn and Farimir was forced to retreat breaking the bridge as he went. From then on Osgiliath remained in a state of half war for many months. But Sauron constructed boats and soon West Osgiliath was invaded. As Farimir outnumbered men struggled against the Orcs a new bridge was made and 10s of 1000s of orcs charged into West Osgiliath. In the struggle to retreat Farimir lost two thirds of his men so with 200 men he retreated to Minas Tirith.

Borimir's horn washed up in Osgiliath. It was cloven in two. He was dead.
