The Battle of Eglarest was a battle fought early during the War of Wrath.

The Battle[edit | edit source]

At the head of the Army of the West was Ingwion son of Ingwë leading the Vanyarin host. At Eglarest Ingwion and his host made a landing and found a swarm of Orcs around it. Thereafter he and his host drove away the Orcs from the shores of the Belegaer.[1] Nothing more is said of the battle in detail.
