Additional notes:
Avathar is the name of a dark land in the south of Aman in between the mountains and the sea in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. Ungoliant used to dwell there before she and Melkor destroyed the Two Trees of Valinor.

The band was a two-piece (Witch King and Scatha) until summer 2005.

Harri Hyytiäinen temporarily joined the ranks of Battlelore in October 2008 for touring purposes, replacing regular frontman Tomi Mykkänen who had opted out for family reasons.
