The '''Battle of Uzer''' was a conflict that occurred in roughly the Year 3669 of the [[God Wars|Third Age]].{{NamedRef|VarmenNotes}} It was amongst the largest battles of what would become known as the [[Kharidian Desert Campaign]]. The battle was fought primarily between the forces of the desert city of [[Uzer]] and the military of the [[Zamorak#followers|Zamorakian]] [[Elder-Demon]] [[Thammaron]].

During the early [[Second Age]], Uzer was a fairly small town with little military fortification.{{CiteNPC |npc=Golem's remains |loc=Missing My Mummy |quote=Uzer is a small village of no importance. There are no golems stationed there. |date=23:28, September 10, 2012 (UTC)}} By the late [[Third Age]], however, the city had become one of the desert's largest, surpassed only by [[Ullek]]. As the [[God Wars]] developed, military [[golem]]s were programmed to defend the city. When Thammaron launched a siege on the city, these golems were its primary military force. It seems that the entire [[Golem]] force was annihilated, with the exception of [[clay golem|one]].

Thammaron's forces were initially victorious, but [[Thammaron]], who had fled back to his demonic realm through a portal in the now ruined Temple of [[Uzer]], later died of his wounds sustained during the battle. His remaining forces were slain less than a day later by the [[Zaros]]ian [[Mahjarrat]] [[Azzanadra]], who drove them to utter defeat, so strong was his will to oppose the efforts of [[Zamorak]] to claim the [[Kharidian Desert]].

With the exception of a single clay golem, virtually all of Uzer's settlers either fled or were killed in the attack. The destruction of Uzer alerted the nearby city of Ullek to the threat of invasion, which may have helped its inhabitants to flee to [[Sophanem]] following the [[Battle of Ullek]].
