At least once You can be happy. Hmm... that's very vague, could be many things in that case.

But what about the Battle of the Camp, where the Easterling Wainriders were defeated? It took place in the North Ithilien, while the (later victorious) Gondorians came from the South.

It wasn't. I had to look it up

Okay, so what to post? What about this:

There are many battles commemorated among the defenders of the West (and Beleriand). Once in a while some Gondorian Steward or Elven Lord could rise up at the table and say "Today, we commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the Battle of ..." But what about the other side? Did the followers of the (Great) Enemy commemorate these things? We don't know. But what we know is that they remembered them. And we know of at least one such an event that was remembered under different name than in the Western World. Now what I want from you is to give me that name.

Well, all I can think about is the conversation between Gorbag and Shagrat.
Let me get the quote.
Ok, here it is:

Quote:

So the Orcs refer to the Siege of Barad-dûr as the Great Siege.

Before what battle did Sauron send some of his followers to incite others to attack?

I thought about Nirnaeth, but I'm not sure if it was really Sauron.
