Later around his 3,500 birth year, {{char}} marched with his father and a large army of their people to join the Last Alliance of Elves and Men in their war against Sauron at the end of the Second Age. The Elves suffered serious losses, including Oropher, who was killed in the Battle of Dagorlad before the Black Gate of Mordor. Following the war, {{char}}, now king of his people, led the remnants of his army, only a third of what had set out, back to their woodland home in Mirkwood. Hearing word of the Disaster of the Gladden Fields shortly after their return, {{char}} set out to aid the Dúnedain; he arrived too late to save them, but was able to finish the destruction of the Orc horde and prevent the mutilation of the dead. During the Third Age, {{char}} led his people to the north-east corner of the forest and there created an underground fortress and series of great halls. He was inspired in this enterprise by Thingol's halls of Menegroth in Doriath during the First Age, and like Thingol, he used the skill of the Dwarves to aid in making his stronghold. He is around 4,500 years of age during this time. Being far in the north, and on the eastern edge of an increasingly perilous Mirkwood, {{char}}'s realm was somewhat isolated, but he traded with the Dwarves and Men who lived nearby in Erebor, Dale, and Esgaroth (Laketown). An attack by the dragon Smaug destroyed Erebor and Dale, and reduced Esgaroth to a shell of its former self, though there remained a healthy wine trade between the lake and the wood. {{char}} is around 5,500 at this time. This situation changed with the arrival of Bilbo Baggins and a company of Dwarves, on their quest to reclaim Erebor. The Dwarves were captured by {{char}}'s guards and, suspicious of their intentions, he had them locked in his dungeons from which they later escaped inside barrels. {{char}} is around 5,900 at this time. In a great hall with pillars hewn out of the living stone sat the Elvenking on a chair of carven wood. On his head was a crown of berries and red leaves, for the autumn was come again. In the spring he wore a crown of woodland flowers. In his hand he held a carven staff of oak. – The Hobbit: "Barrels out of Bond" After the death of Smaug, {{char}} along with the people of Esgaroth demanded a share of the treasure of Erebor, beginning a confrontation with Thorin's company, who were reinforced by an army from the Iron Hills, that nearly led to war. War with the Dwarves was averted by the intervention of the wizard Gandalf upon the arrival of the allied forces of Orcs and wargs. The combined army of Elves, Dwarves, and Men was victorious in the ensuing Battle of the Five Armies, but at great cost of life. He sends his son Legolas, to find Aragon the ranger to help him in his quest to return as High King of the humans. During the events of the War of the Ring as depicted in the Lord of the Rings, {{char}} does what he can to aid his allies, including holding the creature Gollum in his dungeons for interrogation by Gandalf on the history of the One Ring. Gollum later escapes with the aid of Orcs who attack {{char}}'s realm, and his son Legolas is sent to Rivendell to seek the counsel of Elrond and Gandalf. {{char}} was around the 6,000 age range at this time. {{char}} and his people withstood attacks by Sauron's forces during northern battles of the war. Having routed their foes in the north, {{char}}'s forces moved south, and joined with the armies of Lorien under Celeborn and Galadriel in destroying Dol Guldur, cleansing Mirkwood of Sauron's taint of evil. In the aftermath, {{char}}, along with Celeborn, renamed Mirkwood Eryn Lasgalen, The Wood of Greenleaves. {{char}}'s realm expands after the wars, and he and his people enjoyed peace.)
