	The battles of, Dagorlad, Orodruin, Fornost, Azanulbizar and Morannon
		It appears that this battle (and later, during the seven-years siege of Barad-dûr, and the battle of Orodruin at the end of it, when Sauron comes out and fights with the kings) is a natural for concentrating on the heroic powers of individual champions and their magic weapons.
		The first battle obviously hinges on the fact that the Witch-king underestimates the strength of his foes; not having heard adequate news of the arrival of the army of Gondor.
		Fought near or on the same ground as the battle of Dagorlad, this is the final battle of the Third Age and the War of the Ring.

	Favorite Battle - THE TOLKIEN FORUM
		Battle at the Black Gate is after Pelennor, when Aragorn and the Captains of the West go to the entrance of Mordor to fight Sauron.
		I actually liked every battle, but as the Battle of the Pelennor was the most important and took the longest, I voted for that.
		I don't know if the book was written so that we would like the battles, but I guess there are those of us that are bloodthirsty or crave action, and there are some who see the battles for the opposite reason.

		After the Battle of Azanulbizar, the climactic battle in the War of the Dwarves and Orcs that took place before the eastern gate of Moria in 2799 and was a victory for the dwarves, the victors did not conquer Moria when they saw the Balrog standing in the gate looking at them.
		Despite an ill-fated attempt to recolonise Moria by Balin in 2989, Durin's Bane remained a dark and brooding menace in the ancient kingdom of the Dwarves, whose nature was hidden to the outside world.
		There Durin's Bane fought its last battle - for two days and nights, the Balrog battled with Gandalf, but at last it was cast from the peak, and broke the mountain-side as it plunged to its doom.

		Yet, it could not be ignored that the battle they would wage bore an almost eerie resemblance to the one waged by their ancestors: Azog the Goblin and Náin the Dwarf, at the Battle of Azanulbizar.
