The Battle of Five Armies was an important battle waged in T.A. 2941 on and near the Lonely Mountain. The five warring parties were the Orcs and the Wargs against Men, Elves, and Dwarves. Accompanying the mighty host of Wargs and Orcs were also numerous Bats, while a number of Great Eagles (and a lone Beorn) later joined the Free Peoples. This battle took place during the events of Bilbo Baggins and his adventures.
