The Eye

Hmm, actually the Battle of the Peak never really took place: the name was invented by Gandalf when he was speaking about what if somebody saw the battle, how they could make songs about it. And he demented even that rightaway, saying that even people who saw it won't be able to discern it from a raging thunderstorm. Hm, certainly it seems that it was epic enough for a battle, though.

Anyway... let's make another question, then... name four places, which have been besieged (or basically, which were the target location of an army involved in a battle for it) for one, two, three and four times. Neither of these places can belong to the same race! I.e. if you say for example a Dwarven city that has been besieged for one time, then for the places assailed for two, three or four times you need to find places which did not belong to the Dwarves. Mixed defenders count together as another, separate race (i.e. you can include for example a Dwarven city 1x, a different mixed Dwarf-Hobbit city 2x, a Hobbit city 3x etc. But personally I doubt you will find many chances to use this rule). Minor characters appearing in the siege, such as one random Elf among ten thousand Dwarves, of course do not count among the "defender race".

So I want four names from you, you can include the race and the number of battles of this place in brackets after it or something like that.
