The Third Meradareen War was the third of the three wars fought between Kardunash and Meradarath. It ended in a Kardunashi victory and secured Kardunashi dominance over the Sea of Gold. However, Kardunash failed to take the city of Meradarath itself, losing the Great Siege of Meradarath.

The Battle of Meradarath was fought in IV 647 and was a massive amphibious assault by Kardunashi forces. The failure to secure a foothold on the island in this battle led to the Great Siege.
