After the bloody [[Battle of Dagorlad]], the [[Last Alliance]] began their invasion into [[Mordor]]. They captured the [[Black Gate]] but lost many as they passed through [[Udûn (Mordor)|Udûn]], a plateau north of Mordor, and they failed to break into the Dark Tower. Thus, they laid siege on the Dark Tower. |

Fortunately, Anárion's army from Gondor managed to reinforce the Last Alliance. On the sixth year of the siege, [[SA 3440]], Anárion was hit in the head by a stone and died. A year later, [[Gil-galad]] and [[Elendil]] duelled Sauron on the slopes of Mount Doom. Sauron, however, was much more powerful, and killed first Gil-galad with the heat of his hand, and then Elendil, as [[Elrond]], [[Círdan]], and Isildur helplessly watched. As Elendil fell, his great sword [[Narsil]] broke beneath him. But Sauron had been mortally wounded in the battle, and when Isildur cut the One Ring from Sauron's body, the Dark Lord's spirit fled. |
− | After the battle, Sauron's body was broken, the tower of Barad-dûr collapsed (without the Ring's destruction the foundations remained), and the Orc hosts were in disarray. Elrond led Isildur into the heart of Mount Doom, where the One Ring was forged, and the only place it could be destroyed. However, he claimed it for his own, which led to his death |

Gondor later reoccupied [[Minas Ithil]] and [[Ithilien]], and set watchtowers at the Black Gate, and the pass of [[Cirith Ungol]]. However, years of neglect, and the [[Kin-strife]] led these areas to be captured by the Nazgûl, with Minas Ithil, later [[Minas Morgul]], falling to the Witch-king. |

Conquest of Minas Ithil - Defense of Osgiliath - Battle of Dagorlad - Siege of Barad-dûr |
The Siege of Barad-dûr was a key event of the War of the Last Alliance. Despite suffering severe losses, the Last Alliance of Elves and Men leveled Sauron's fortress of Barad-dûr and defeated his armies after a prolonged siege, at the end of which the One Ring was cut from Sauron's finger and taken by Isildur.
History
After the bloody Battle of Dagorlad, the Last Alliance began their invasion into Mordor. They captured the Black Gate but lost many as they passed through Udûn, a plateau north of Mordor, and they failed to break into the Dark Tower. Thus, they laid siege on the Dark Tower.
The siege lasted for a total of seven years. Many elves and men were killed in the siege as seemingly endless numbers of arrows, rocks, flaming missiles, and Orc sorties emerged from the tower. Fortunately, Anárion's army from Gondor managed to reinforce the Last Alliance. On the sixth year of the siege, SA 3440, Anárion was hit in the head by a stone and died. A year later, Gil-galad and Elendil duelled Sauron on the slopes of Mount Doom. Sauron, however, was much more powerful, and killed first Gil-galad with the heat of his hand, and then Elendil, as Elrond, Círdan, and Isildur helplessly watched. As Elendil fell, his great sword Narsil broke beneath him. But Sauron had been mortally wounded in the battle, and when Isildur cut the One Ring from Sauron's body, the Dark Lord's spirit fled.
After the battle, Sauron's body was broken, the tower of Barad-dûr collapsed (without the Ring's destruction the foundations remained), and the Orc hosts were in disarray. Elrond led Isildur into the heart of Mount Doom, where the One Ring was forged, and the only place it could be destroyed. However, he claimed it for his own, which led to his death.
Gondor later reoccupied Minas Ithil and Ithilien, and set watchtowers at the Black Gate, and the pass of Cirith Ungol. However, years of neglect, and the Kin-strife led these areas to be captured by the Nazgûl, with Minas Ithil, later Minas Morgul, falling to the Witch-king.
Isildur's father, brother, and Gil-galad were killed in the Siege of Barad-dûr.[1][2]
