The '''Lords of Dor-lómin''' ruled [[Dor-lómin]], the greatest realm of the [[Edain]] in northern [[Beleriand]].<ref>[[J.R.R. Tolkien]], ''[[The Silmarillion]]'', [[The Coming of Men into the West]]</ref> As a young man, [[Hador]] gained the favour of [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]], while serving in his household. Fingolfin therefore gave him the lordship of Dor-lómin, where Hador then gathered his kin. His son and grandson followed him as Lords and were vassals of the High King [[Fingon]].<ref>[[J.R.R.

Within their own household, the Lords of Dor-lómin spoke [[Sindarin]], but at times still used their [[Taliska|native tongue]].<ref>[[J.R.R.

Dor-lómin ceased to exist as a realm of the [[Edain]] following the battle of the ''[[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]'', when all of [[Hithlum]] was occupied by [[Easterlings]] in the service of [[Morgoth]], these incomers enslaving the Edain.<ref>[[J.R.R.

Tolkien]], ''[[The Children of Húrin]]'', [[The Departure of Túrin]]</ref> From this point Dór-lomin was ruled by [[Brodda]] of the Easterlings, until he was killed by Túrin in his own hall. Despite a brief uprising by the Edain, the Easterlings retained control of the land.<ref>[[J.R.R. Tolkien]], ''[[The Children of Húrin]]'', [[The Return of Túrin to Dor-lómin]]</ref>

The Battle Under the Trees is a name given to the culmination of the conflict between the Elves of the [[Woodland Realm]] and [[Sauron]]'s forces in [[Dol Guldur]].

==History==
===Background===
Dol Guldur had been Sauron's own dwelling until his expulsion by the [[White Council]] in T.A. 2941. Ten years later he sent three [[Nazgûl]], including [[Khamûl the Easterling]], to reoccupy it. In the period preceding the [[War of the Ring]] they amassed many thousands of [[Orcs]] and other fell creatures in the stronghold, though they themselves left in T.A. 3018 to hunt for the [[One Ring]]. By the 26th of February in the following year, fighting had begun in Mirkwood, with the Orcs setting fire to parts of the forest.<ref>[[J.R.R. Tolkien]], [[The Lord of the Rings]], [[The Fellowship of the Ring]], [[The Breaking of the Fellowship]]</ref>

===The Battle===
While the Host of Morgul was assaulting [[Minas Tirith]], Sauron's forces in Dol Guldur attacked the Elves of [[Lothlórien]] and the Woodland Realm.<ref>[[J.R.R. Tolkien]], [[The Lord of the Rings]], [[Appendix B: The Tale of the Years]]</ref> It is probable that the attack on the [[Thranduil]] was designed to prevent him from aiding the Dwarves and Northmen, as he had at the [[Battle of the Five Armies]]. The Elvenking's army was primarily composed of spearmen and archers,<ref>[[J.R.R. Tolkien]], [[The Hobbit]], [[Fire and Water]]</ref> though their bows were not as powerful as those of the [[Galadhrim]].<ref>[[J.R.R. Tolkien]], [[The Lord of the Rings]], [[The Fellowship of the Ring]], [[Farewell to Lorien]]</ref> Unlike most of the battles of the war, Sauron's army may not have been much bigger than that of the Free Peoples, given that most of Dol Guldur's strength was engaged against the Galadhrim, and that the objective may have been to tie-up the Wood Elves rather than destroy them. [[Orcs of the Misty Mountains]] may have been present at the battle, as they had recently ravaged the land of the [[Beornings]]. Then again, it is implied that the northern Orcs were not the most reliable of the Dark Lord's servants.<ref>[[J.R.R. Tolkien]], [[Unfinished Tales]], [[The Quest for Erebor]]</ref> During the battle, which was long, the forces of Dol Guldur once again used their tactic of setting the forest aflame. Despite this, the Wood Elves eventually prevailed and Thranduil repelled the invaders.<ref>[[J.R.R. Tolkien]], [[The Lord of the Rings]], [[Appendix B: The Tale of the Years]]</ref>

===Aftermath===
Although the Wood Elves were victorious, their losses were great enough that they did not come to the aid of [[Dale]] and [[Erebor]], while Dol Guldur remained strong enough to launch a Third Assault on Lórien.

*There were at least a thousand Elvish spearmen at the Battle of the Five Armies, and seemingly a similar number of archers. Given that this force was gathered in two days, it can be estimated that the Woodland Realm's full strength was greater than this.

[[Image:SBG - Mumak Mahud.gif|thumb|'''Mûmak Mahûd''' as visualized by the ''[[Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game]]'']]
The '''''Mahûd''''' are a Mannish people that appear in the ''[[Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game]]''. Their inspiration comes from the riders of the [[Mûmakil]] in [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (film series)]]. Their name appears to derive from the Hindi word for elephant rider - Mahout.

The Mahûd are described as inhabiting the deserts of Far Harad, where they tame and train the Mûmakil. Due to the climate, they wear light clothing (keeping their arms and legs bare) and ride camels instead of horses. They have little, if any, knowledge of metal-working, and their armour and weapons are mostly made of wood and bone. These weapons include spears, daggers, clubs and blowpipes, the Mahûd also carrying large wicker shields. In battle, the Mahûd ride in howdahs atop Mûmakil and attach sharpened tusks to the flanks of their camels, which impale foes in a charge. Kings have occasionally arisen among the Mahûd, but their violent and fluid political culture means few last for very long. Leadership normally goes to the best warrior, with people often defecting to another tribe if their chieftain is a more capable fighter.<ref>Matthew Ward, The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game: Harad, Games Workshop, 2007</ref>
