Zalindreh

Zalindreh was the site of a famous Calormene battle where the exiled talking horse Bree and his master Anradin distinguished themselves in battle. Bree told the story at the Archenland castle Anvard.

Spelling
The battle was called Zulindreh the first time it was mentioned in the Horse and His Boy, and then later spelled Zalindreh. It is believed that the correct spelling was Zalindreh, because of Lewis's 'affinity for the Arabic syllable az in his name-coining'.

The battle was between the Calormene army and a rebel army, possibly of a province wanting to separate. One of the cousins of Aravis, named Alimash, was the captain of the war chariots. Presumably the Calormene army emerged victorious in vanquishing the rebellion, but took heavy casualties.
