Southern Theatre
The objective of Sauron's grand strategy was to defeat the strongest of the nations that opposed him, Gondor, and to do so he would need to take the capital city and greatest fortress of Gondor, Minas Tirith. Grand strategy is military Strategy at the level of movement and use of an entire Nation state or Empire 's resources This article is about the city in the Third Age. For the First Age tower of the same name see Minas Tirith (First Age. To this end, the war effort of Mordor was focused in the south in and around Gondor, in a strategy of divide and conquer. To keep Gondor's ally Rohan, on its northern border, from sending aid, Sauron promoted the rise of Saruman at Isengard to the west of Rohan. Thus all of Rohan's forces would be focused in the west trying to stem the tide of the Isengard attack, and none would be sent to Minas Tirith's defence. Meanwhile, Sauron sent the Mordor-allied Corsairs of Umbar to attack Gondor's populous southern coastal fiefs, which as a result sent only a fraction of their forces to defend Minas Tirith in northern Gondor, while the rest stayed on the coasts preparing for the Corsair assault. However, Sauron's divide and conquer strategy was ultimately foiled and a united front of Gondor and Rohan's forces faced Mordor.
Rohan
Although there had never really been peace, the War of the Ring started in Rohan when Saruman's troops crossed the Fords of Isen. In J R R Tolkien 's Fictional universe of Middle-earth, the Fords of Isen were fords in the river Isen, guarded by the Rohirrim The Battle of the Hornburg is a fictional Battle in J R R Tolkien 's novel The Lord of the Rings. The Destruction of Isengard is a Fictional Battle from JRR Tolkien ’s Middle-earth legendarium. Concept and creation Saruman first appears in 1954's The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume of the Fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings Théodred, the son of the King Théoden, had mustered his forces on the fords in order to launch a surprise attack against the enemy. Théodred ( TA 2978–3019 is a fictional character in The Lord of the Rings by J This is a list of kings of Rohan from the Fictional universe of Middle-earth by J Early life Théoden was the only son of King Thengel and Morwen of Lossarnach (a region of Gondor) On 23 February T.A. 3019 he attacked the vanguard of the orcs marching out of Isengard. The Third Age is a time period from J R R Tolkien 's Middle-earth fantasy writings Reinforcements were quickly sent from Isengard however, and Théodred ordered a retreat. His forces retreated to an island in the fords, but they were soon surrounded and he was killed. Grimbold managed to hold the island, but would not have succeeded if Elfhelm had not come with reinforcements from Helm's Deep. Grimbold is a character in J R R Tolkien 's Middle-earth legendarium. In J R R Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, Elfhelm was a lord of Rohan and Marshal of the East-mark Aglarond Aglarond and Angrenost (later Isengard) were the two fortresses built by Gondor guarding the Fords of Isen. Thus the first battle of the Fords of Isen ended in defeat for the Rohirrim. In J R R Tolkien 's Middle-earth, the Rohirrim were a Horse people, settling in the land of Rohan, named after them
Now that the Marshal of the Westmark was dead, Erkenbrand took command of the Westfold. In J R R Tolkien 's Middle-earth Legendarium, Erkenbrand was lord of the Westfold of Rohan during the War of the Ring is a county in Norway, bordering Buskerud and Telemark. The county administration is in Tønsberg. He placed Grimbold and Elfhelm at the Fords. However, they were unable to withstand the force of Isengard, and were surrounded. Though they successfully broke through the enemy's lines, they ended up scattered around the Westfold, giving Saruman clear passage into Rohan.
Meanwhile, Gandalf drove Gríma Wormtongue out of Edoras and went to gather Erkenbrand's scattered forces, advising King Théoden to move to the stronghold of Helm's Deep. Gríma, called (the Wormtongue, is a fictional character in J Adaptations For Peter Jackson's ''The Lord of the Rings'' film trilogy, produced by New Line Cinema, a fully realized set for Edoras was The king and his forces arrived unmolested, but soon the fortress was surrounded by Saruman's troops. All through the night of March 3rd-4th a combined force of Orcs and Wild Men from Dunland besieged Helm's Deep, and despite the efforts of the Rohirrim (aided by Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli) hope appeared lost. Aragorn II is a fictional character from J R R Tolkien 's Middle-earth Legendarium. Appearances Literature Legolas was the son of Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood, who appears as "the Elvenking" Character overview Gimli was a Dwarf of Durin's Folk who volunteered to accompany Frodo Baggins as a member of the Fellowship of the Ring Believing Rohan was lost, Théoden decided to mount a final, suicidal charge against Saruman's forces. Unexpectedly, however, Gandalf arrived in the nick of time with Erkenbrand and the scattered Rohirrim, along with a forest of Huorns who had been sent to the battle by Treebeard. The Huorns are a fictional race from J R R Tolkien 's Middle-earth. Literature Spirits were sent by Eru Ilúvatar to inhabit the trees which the Vala Yavana had created along with other plants or olvars The orcs were trapped and utterly annihilated. The wild Men taken captive, however, were freed after swearing an oath of loyalty to Rohan and clearing the battlefield of the dead. (The mercy of this act amazed the captives, who had been told by Saruman that the men of Rohan were cruel and burned their captives alive. )
Days before, at an Entmoot in Fangorn Forest, the Ents, furious over the destruction Saruman had wrought upon the forest, decided to march on Isengard. Ents are a fictional race of humanoid Trees from J R R Tolkien 's fantasy world of Middle-earth. They were to move up to Isengard and destroy it. By 3 March the destruction was completed, and the command of Isengard was taken by the Ent Treebeard. At Gandalf's request he sent a large herd of Huorns to the Battle of Hornburg, to aid the Rohirrim.
Gondor
For over 3000 years, the realm of Gondor held back the shadow and the threat from the East. The Battle of Osgiliath is a fictional battle of J R R Tolkien 's The Return of the King. In J R R Tolkien 's fantasy fiction, the Battle of the Pelennor Fields is the battle for the city of Minas Tirith between the forces of Gondor In time, the kingdom declined, and Sauron prepared to swoop in for the kill. Faramir, captain of Gondor and son of Denethor, Steward of Gondor, had divided his forces to many fronts. In J R R Tolkien 's Middle-earth legendarium, Faramir is a Fictional character appearing in The Lord of the Rings. The two most important of these were in the island citadel of Cair Andros and the ruined city of Osgiliath. Gondor is a fictional kingdom in J R R Tolkien 's writings described as the greatest realm of Men in the west of Middle-earth by the end of the In the fiction of J R R Tolkien, Osgiliath is a city of Middle-earth, the old Capital city of Gondor. In a strict sense, the War of the Ring began with the Great Signal from Minas Morgul and the answering signal from Mount Doom, and thus the attack on Osgiliath was the first battle of the war proper. Sauron's two armies obliterated the fortresses, and Faramir was forced to retreat to the causeway forts, the last defence against the Morgul forces. Minas Morgul (ˈminas ˈmɔrɡuɫ ( Sindarin: Tower of Black Magic) also known by its earlier name of Minas Ithil ( Sindarin: Tower of the Soon these too were destroyed, and only Minas Tirith remained. The siege soon began, as the Nazgûl hovered above and spread terror and confusion, and siege towers tried to take the walls but were all destroyed. Finally The Gate of Minas Tirith, which had never before been breached, was broken by a mighty ram, and the Lord of the Nazgûl entered, the first and only enemy to do so. Literature Within the context of Tolkien's Legendarium, the Witch-king was originally a great king of Men. All seemed lost — until six thousand Rohirrim, under King Théoden's command, came and somewhat relieved the Gondorian defenders but the cost of many lives, including Théoden. However, he was avenged with the death of the Witch-king at the hands of Éowyn, Théoden's niece. Still, the battle was in doubt until Aragorn arrived with a large force out of South Gondor. The joint force of Gondor and Rohan then successfully defeated their enemies.
The Battle of the Morannon was the final major battle against Sauron in the War of the Ring, fought at the Black Gate of Mordor. In J R R Tolkien 's Legendarium, the Battle of the Morannon or Battle of the Black Gate is a fictional event that took place at the end of the In J R R Tolkien 's Fictional universe of Middle-earth, Mordor (from Sindarin Black Land and Quenya Land of Shadow The Army of the West, roughly 6,000 strong, led by Aragorn marched on the gate and faced a vastly larger force as a diversionary feint to distract Sauron's attention from Frodo and Sam, who were carrying the One Ring through Mordor. Aragorn II is a fictional character from J R R Tolkien 's Middle-earth Legendarium. Samwise Gamgee, later known as Samwise Gardner and commonly known as Sam, is a Fictional character in J It was hoped that Sauron would think Aragorn had the Ring and was now trying to use it to overthrow Mordor. Aragorn II is a fictional character from J R R Tolkien 's Middle-earth Legendarium. Despite the seemingly impossible odds the Army of the West was eventually victorious, when the Ring was destroyed, and Sauron's forces fled or surrendered in dismay.
Northern Theatre
Mordor's war effort was focused in the south against Gondor, but using his outstretched right arm Sauron attempted to flank the lands of the Free Peoples through the north, using Orcs and allied barbarian nations of Men. In this northern theatre of the war (which had spread far across Middle-earth) Sauron's primary objective was to use the forces at his primary base of operations in the areas, Dol Guldur in southern Mirkwood, to defeat Lothlórien, then pass the Misty Mountains (attacking Rivendell), and wheel around to take Rohan and Gondor from the rear. However, Dol Guldur had to deal with the threat of the Woodland Realm of Thranduil, and thus split their forces between the attack on Lothlórien and the one on the Woodland Realm. Sauron wanted to use his barbarian Easterling allies in a joint attack with the Orcs from Dol Guldur on the Woodland Realm, and then have this victorious army link up with the other ones attacking Lothlórien and defeat it. However, unfortunately for Sauron a strong Dwarf nation now existed at the Lonely Mountain thanks to the efforts of Gandalf, as well as the Dwarves of the Iron Hills and allied Men of Dale. Mordor's Easterling allies were tied up fighting the Dwarves of Erebor and Men of Dale, and never linked up with the Mordor forces assaulting the Woodland Realm, which in turn could not link up with those attacking Lothlórien, and the line held.
Bridging the gap between the northern and southern theatres of the war was the line of the River Anduin between Lothlórien and Gondor, running along the Rohan border. Orc armies peeling off from the assault on Lothlórien tried to enter Rohan via this route, while almost its entire army had left to fight at Minas Tirith, but the Ents of Fangorn forest counterattacked and drove the Orcs back in a panic, and most if not all drowned while attempting to flee by crossing the river.
Dale
As the war begun, the Dwarves of Erebor refused to co-operate with Sauron in his hunt for the Ring. The Battle of Dale is a fictional battle in J R R Tolkien 's The Lord of the Rings during the War of the Ring. In J R R Tolkien 's Middle-earth Legendarium, the Lonely Mountain ( Sindarin Erebor) is a Mountain in the northeast Therefore, Sauron sent an army of Easterlings to Dale.

When news spread about the victory in the South, the Easterlings scattered and the sons of Brand and Dáin let their army out of Erebor.
Lothlórien and Mirkwood
On March 11 Lothlórien was first attacked from Dol Guldur. Dol Guldur ( Sindarin: "Hill of Sorcery" was Sauron 's stronghold in Mirkwood in the fictional world of J It was attacked two further times, on the 15 and the 22.

Consequences
The War of the Ring had great influence on all of the lands of the northwest of Middle-earth.

For the Elves, the final decline had begun. The bearers of the Rings left Middle-earth, and Lórien was eventually abandoned. The Elves of Lothlórien who did not depart over the Sea moved east to the southern third of Mirkwood, below the Narrows, which they named East Lórien. In Eryn Lasgalen however, Thranduil's rule continued, and they had peace. There was also an Elven colony in Ithilien. Many of the Elves of Rivendell departed over the Sea, and by Aragorn's death 120 years later, it was entirely deserted.
In the Shire life continued as it had prior to the war. It was declared a free land under the Sceptre of Annúminas, and Men were forbidden to enter it.
