The Galadhrim of Lothlórien and the Tawarwaith of Mirkwood fought a battle to bring about the destruction of Dol Guldur, the last remaining fortress of Sauron in Rhovanion, during the War of the Ring.

History[]

The Nazgûl who guarded the castle were absent, and its army had been defeated three times by the Elves of Lórien and also by Thranduil in a long battle under the trees. The actual manner of the battle is not mentioned, but the end is certain. On April 6, Galadriel came to the gates and through unspecified means cast down the walls, foul pits and crevices. The evil realm of Dol Guldur was finally destroyed and the forest was cleansed.

On the same day, Celeborn and Thranduil met in the midst of the forest and renamed it Eryn Lasgalen, "wood of green leaves". Celeborn took the land south of the Narrows for himself and named it East Lórien, while Thranduil took all the forest north of the Mountains of Mirkwood, the middle of the forest was given to the Beornings and Woodmen.[1][2]

The destruction of Dol Guldur in BFME II

The Battle of Dol Guldur takes place in the PC and Xbox 360 game The Battle for Middle-earth II as the final mission in the Good Campaign. Unlike its book counterpart, this battle has numerous differences. Elrond leads the battle instead of Celeborn, Glorfindel also is present along with Glóin, who are paired up together in the game. Thranduil of Mirkwood also joins the fray along with Arwen and even Dáin II, which is quite noticeable as in the book he died in Battle of Dale, whereas in the game he survives. Easterlings and Haradrim as well as at least one Mûmak, details not in the book.

The initial force consists of Elrond and many Elves and Dwarves. They destroy two Mordor camps and light signal fires. Soon Glorfindel, Glóin, and Dáin arrive with Dwarven reinforcements, and Thranduil and Arwen arrive with Elven and Ent reinforcements. They then proceed to attack the stronghold, after pushing through numerous defences, they receive word that Sauron has become aware of the attack and has sent reinforcements to aid his forces already there. After defeating the reinforcements lead by three Nazgûl (who retreat, probably being summoned back to Mordor to fight in the Battle of the Black Gate). The army is reinforced by several Great Eagles. With their aid, the Elves, Dwarves and Ents destroy most of the remaining forces of Dol Guldur, including a Watcher and Wyrms. After slaying the dragon in command of the defense of Dol Guldur, Galadriel destroys the fortress, clearing the north of all evil. At the same time, Sauron perishes in Mordor as the One Ring is destroyed.
