The Battle of Eglarest was one of the first battles fought in the War of Wrath. At the head of the Valinorian host drove the Vanyar under the leadership of Ingwion, son of Ingwë Ingweron. At Eglarest the army of Vanyar discovered hordes of Orcs swarming around it. The Vanyar managed to land on the shores and sweep aside the Orcs as if they were dust. More forces came ashore and this began a great push into Beleriand for the forces of the west.
