There was long series of battles over the decades of the middle third millienium of the Third Age. The first of these attacks occurred in T.A. 1851. During this period, Gondor was under assault from the east by various eastern tribes variously referred as Wainriders, Easterlings, and Balchoth. After some serious defeats, they were at last decisively halted.
