Seriously, dude. I thin you're a little confused. Arienna is a popular leader, people like her. And technically she serves directly beneath Eureka, He's her boss. He has control over the white foothills, Lothlorien, and Mirkwood. And, furthermore, the silvans are an isolated people. They don't like war, they don't want to go to war, so basically all the Wood Elves are behind Arienna and Eureka's decision. And Auraestus is right, Arienna is a major supporting character of mine, you can't kill her off without my consent, and I've got some plans for her.

Now getting back to the original point, I'm going to list what I think would be the major-ish battles of the Coalition-Imperial Bond war, listed from smallest to largest.

The Duel of the Fates: Eureka challenges Gil-Galad to single combat. Victor: uncertain

Battle of Hoen estuary: One of the fist battle of the war, a small group of Grey Elven infantry lure a much larger platoon of Gondorian soldiers into the Hoen estuary, thus giving them enormous tactical advantage. They kill a great number of invaders, but the Gondorians, through strength of numbers, eventually defeat the small group. Victor: Gondorians, though they suffered much heavier losses. Victor: Coalition

The hundred skirmishes: A large series of battles fought along the Anduin, mainly between the Grey Riders and invading Gondorians, Haradrim ad Umbarians, with the goal of repelling invading forces and buying Glosur and Keredrex time. Victor: Imperials

The battle of Khazad pass: Orc and Dwarf forces fight against Men and Elves for three days in a valleyed area, along the path to Khazad-Dum. It was a long drawn out and bloody battle, but eventually, Coalition forces pushed through toward Khazad-Dum. Victor: Coalition

The Siege of the Grey Keep: Gondorian and Haradrim forces, in order to cut off the Grey Riders from their home and supplies and to cripple the Grey Elves, lay siege to the mighty fortress capital of the White foothills and home of Eureka Enderborn, the Grey Keep. The Gondorians and Haradrim bring all sorts of siege towers and catapults, but the bridge is detonated and the catapults destroyed by the Elven ones within the fortress. So the siege goes from an aggressive takeover to a supply cutoff. Victor: Tie, as they succeeded in cutting off the Grey Riders from their home.

The battle of Khazad-dum: The crowning moment of the war. Figures such as Glosur, Eureka, Keredrex, Amroth, and Gil-Galad are present at the fight, and all of the factions involved in the war are present. The battle spanned a full week, and was chock full of heroic moments and great acts of military strategy. In the end, the attackers are driven out, and the Imperial Bond wins the day. Victor: Imperials

And now, some story as to the first fight of the war: the Duel of the Fates.

Gil-Galad led his army across the plains of Eriador. As he came over a hill, he caught his first glimpse of his target: the Misty Mountains. But, as he took a step towards them, there was a flash of purple and a loud WARP sound, and Gil-Galad found a Frost-point at his throat.

He looked up into the multi-hued face of Eureka, who was holding his old spear to his throat.

"Don't speak, just listen. You are going to those mountains with the hopes to kill my best friend and destroy any chance we may have of ever having peace with the Orcs. I cannot allow you to do that." He stepped back and slammed the hilt of the legendary spear into the ground. "I challenge you to single-person combat. Do you accept my challenge, or will you go running like a dog, your tail between your legs?"
