The War of Wrath, or the Great Battle, was the final battle against Morgoth at the end of the First Age 545-587, and the greatest battle ever fought in all of Middle-earth. The host of Valinor was the strongest army to ever be seen landing on Middle Earth. It consisted of Vanya, Noldor, Maiar, and many creatures of legend. Despite this, the heavenly host was driven back by the surprise attack from Morgoth's Winged Dragons. Eventually, Valinor pushed through the army of Angband and Morgoth was captured and chained. After Morgoth's defeat, he was pushed into the Void where it is said he will eventually breakout and the last greatest battle of all time will take place--Dagor Dagorath.
