First Siege of Imladris

The First Siege of Imladris was an assault on Rivendell in mid-Second Age during the War of the Elves and Sauron.
== History ==
Elrond fled with the other Elves of Eregion to the Valley on the North of the Misty Mountains. Sauron, in the beginning, paid little heed because he suspected that Gil-galad, being the High King of the Ñoldor and thus Celebrimbor's superior, was in possession of all three Elven rings, although in truth he had two. Because of this, Sauron was focused on defeating his ancient enemy and this spared the survivors of Eregion from annihilation. But knowing that Elrond would attack him from the rear, he sent a small force to lay siege to Rivendell. With the defeat of Sauron's armies at the Grey Havens and his retreat, the force besieging Rivendell was caught in between the forces of Gil-galad and Elrond and destroyed.
