Battle of the Field of Celebrant

The Battle of the Field of Celebrant was a battle which was fought at the Field of Celebrant in Middle-earth against the Balchoth, which soon led to the creation of the Kingdom of Rohan.
== History ==
The ancestors of the Rohirrim were called to the aid of Gondor because they were attacked by the Balchoth, who frequently made raids on the eastern side of Anduin until the people left. Cirion learned from his spies that the Balchoth were gathering a great army to attack the province of Calenardhon on the west side of the river and knew the defence there was too weak to repel an attack. Cirion prepared to lead an army to Calenardhon and sent six riders to ask for help. The riders went through the Balchoth army and five perished while one named Borondir made it to the land of Éothéod and delivered his message. Eorl the Young realized that if Gondor fell soon his people may also fall, so he led 7000 riders and hundreds of mounted archers on the 500 mile journey to Calenardhon.Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, Part Three: The Third Age, II: "Cirion and Eorl and the Friendship of Gondor and Rohan"
=== The battle ===
The Balchoth had built many boats on the side of Anduin at the Undeeps of Calenardhon and came over and crossed the river and with their superior numbers overcame the fortresses on the west bank easily. Soon Cirion came with an army of reinforcements, but the Balchoth cut them off and drove them to the north over the Limlight to the Field of Celebrant and then a host of Orcs came and attacked Cirion's forces, driving them to Anduin. When the situation looked bleak for Gondor, the Éothéod arrived, crossing the Undeeps into Calenardhon and then over to the Limlight to attack the Balchoth and the Orcs from the rear. The combined forces of Gondor and the Éothéod then drove the Balchoth across the Limlight then slew the invaders until Calenardhon was free. 
=== Aftermath ===
Soon after the battle, the nearly deserted province of Calenardhon was gifted to the Éothéod by Cirion and was renamed Rohan. Eorl and Cirion swore a perpetual oath to aid each other in future times of need.
