5 armies, only one not against a dark lord (i.e. morgoth sauron)

The Nirnaith Arnoediad? Because apart from being the only defeat for the forces of light, all the others victory was acheived because of requested reinforcements - Teh Elves of Aman at the War of Wrath following the mission of Earendil, The Five Armies (Elves of Mirkwood, Dwarves of Iron Mountains, Pelenor Fields teh Rohirrim.... although the less expected (unless you are Gandalf ) arrival of Aragorn and co may have bee decisive there ..aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgh

Nirnaeth - the elves lost?

Fingolfin II · 06-11-2004, 01:57 AM

All wrong so far

wedll I think it is something to do with dragons ... but I am not sure which is the odd one out ......
War of Wrath - Earendil slays Ancalagon,
Battle of Five Armies ...Smaug's death is the catalyst
Nirnaeth - Galurung causes devastation but survives
Battle of the Pellenor Fields - the Nazgul's steed could be termed a dragon I think - monstrous winged creature without feathers.......

So Pellenor could be the odd one out if you don't class the feel beast as a dragon

oo - no dragon

Five Armies OOO- caused by dragon not featuring a dragon

Nirnaeth OOO Dragon lives to fight another day....

Nope- nothing to do with Dragons.
