History

In the year 2885 of the Third Age, during the reign of Steward Túrin II, the Haradrim assailed Southern Ithilien with great strength at the Crossings of Poros where Túrin II and King Folcwine of Rohan mustered their armies for defense against the Southern storm. The Haradrim, when they were ready, launched the assault, but were beaten back by the combined arms of Rohan and Gondor.

Overall, this battle was somewhat of a Pyrrhic victory for Rohan and Gondor alike, due to the deaths of Folcwine's sons, Fastred and Folcred.

In adaptations

In The Lord of the Rings Online, a tapestry depicting Folcred and Fastred's last stand is found in Meduseld and can be acquired for use in player's houses.
