The war came to an end at the pivotal Battle of Orgorod; where Alokkair was defeated by the combined strength of men, elves and dwarves of the West.

For a long time after, many believed mistakenly that Alokkair was slain in this conflict; that is how he was able to secretly regain his strength. Once he did so, Alokkair rose again as a threat the West in the War of the Elanthir.
