King Elessar, Imrahil, and most of the garrison were on campaign in Rhun, so Veauntur struck at Dol Amroth itself. He besieged it for a while, laying waste to the mainland. What he didn't know, however, was that the capaign in Rhun was going far better then expected, and Imrahil's troops returned early. A huge battle insued between the surviving garrison and Imrahil, against Umbar.

Result: Dol Amroth victory, but a pyrrhic victory: the entire mainland of Dol Amroth as well as the surrounding farmland was utterly destroyed, the seaward tower sustained a lot of damage, and almost the entire garrison had been wiped out. The only reason Dol Amroth did not fall before Imrahil got back is because Edacnik made a heroic defence, leading his legion of Nimrodel Rangers.

Eh? Edacnik was gone too. Pretty much everybody was gone, hence the point of the battle.
