At 3124 there was an enormous conflict. Over 6000 Gondorians, mainly Dunadan footmen (HI), but with 400 Dunadan Knights (Cav) took on a mob of 3100 trolls with wooden battle axes and no armour (HI). 3400 of the Gondorians stood and watched the battle while the remaining 2700 attacked using flank against the trolls who stood in standard formation. It seemed the Gondorians knew that they had the beating of these inexperienced trolls and had eyes for taking the mighty city of Minas Ithil after they had slaughtered the foul creatures.
As the forces clashed, however, things suddenly went horribly wrong for the men of the West as a monstrous huge grey dragon named Lamthanc appeared and tore into the Gondorian ranks. The panicked Gondorian generals Tarondor, Elatar and Belechael were shouting new orders to adjust to this terror when things took a further turn for the worse as Lomaw the white ice drake moved out of the line of trolls and engulfed thousands of troops in broad sheets of frost and ice.
The men began to turn and run, led by their cowardly generals, it was to no avail though and not a single soldier escaped, and the Regent Elatar was captured. It appears that Belechael is still missing after the battle. The Nazgul known as Ren the Unclean reported that he is likely hiding under the mounds of bodies.
Over 2700 men of Gondor were killed in the conflict. Only a few trolls were killed, most of them in the initial clashes of the armies, before the rout began.
Tarondor is understood to have watched the battle from a hilltop and then marched his troops West to retreat to Osgiliath. Ren’s army pursued him from the field and is now camped outside Osgiliath, joining other hosts from the Dark Lts and Ice King.
