The Battle of Atarisundri was a battle between The Gnome Empire from the north of Kandarin, and the Thorobshuun and Garagorshuun goblin tribes from the south.

At some point in the Fourth Age the elves living in Kandarin went west, leaving a lot of land open for conquest.^[1] The gnome and goblin forces eventually met, resulting in the Battle of Atarisundri.^[2] Based on the map depiction of Kandarin and the name of the battle, the battle took place somewhere between the Combat Training Camp and the Battlefield, likely in the Ardougne area. Despite the bravery of the gnome soldiers, it was clear that the gnomes would not be able to win against the sheer power of the goblins.^[3]

The gnome king, Healthorg and one of his advisors, Glouphrie, devised a plan to trick the large goblin army facing them.^[4] Using his knowledge of optics and light magic,^[5] Glouphrie conjured an illusion of several giant tortoises, knowing the goblins would be scared of them.^[6] Upon seeing this illusion the goblins fled in fear, resulting in victory for the gnomes.
