    This. The war that culminated in Saurons initial defeat was literally called the “War of the last alliance”.

      What a shit name for a war tbh. “Yo guys this was fun, but this is the last time we’re getting together” - elves probably. Or maybe they meant last as in “previous”, but that’s just asking for it to get outdated.

        Wars can be renamed after the fact.

        Or else everyone fighting in World War 1 would have had a lot less chill after the war ended.
