From Hârn
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Atani Wars is the Sindarin name for the Lythian barbarian conquest of Hârn (900683 BT). The wars began as minor raids but gradually increased as the Lythians settled on Hârn with a view to conquest. The Atani Wars ended with the Battle of Sorrows in 683 BT, in which the Sindarin defeated the barbarians. However, the elven king, Daelda, suffered a mortal wound. As a result, Daelda’s successor, Aranath, withdrew his folk to the Shava Forest, abandoned his Khuzdul and Jarin allies, and renounced his kingship over Hârn. This act allowed the Lythian barbarians to recover from their defeat and complete their conquest of Hârn.
