High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! J. R. R. Tolkien`s high fantasy book The Lord of the Rings concerns itself with, among other things, the War of the Ring, a war waged by the Dark Lord Sauron against the Elves, Dwarves and Men of the West of Middle-earth. However, the story also contains some battles which are either too minor in scale to be counted as major battles in the War, or may not be part of the War itself. These fights are presented in chronological order.
