The Wainrider/Balchoth War was a long series of battles over the several centuries of the second and third millennia 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 a number of eastern tribes variously referred as Wainriders, Easterlings, and Balchoth. After some serious setbacks for Gondor, they were at last decisively defeated.
