First Fall of Melbourne

The First Fall of Melbourne or the First Battle of Melbourne was fought from July 17th to August 3rd 798 AF on the southern coast of Roommenor. It was the first major battle of the War of a Century and marks the first severe defeat suffered by the collective forces of the Galad Administration and the Guardians. The battle was significant in proving that Divider's growing rebellion was a larger threat than had previously been believed. Following his victory Divider ordered mass executions of anyone remotely tied to the Galad Administration and began ferrying citizens and POWs to Gronic to serve as slave labor.
