Soaring from the base, the ominous dark tower reaches an impressive total height of more than 20 inches mm and weighs in at a staggering 22 lbs 10 kg.
In his writings, J. Tolkien describes little of the tower besides its terror and surreal size. The construction of the tower began around the SA , and took six hundred years to complete. It was the greatest fortress built since the fall of Angband during the War of Wrath. But because it was created using the power of the One Ring , its foundations could not be destroyed while the Ring itself still existed. He was tortured for information regarding the whereabouts of the One Ring, as Sauron had learned that he had once possessed it, and thus Sauron learned that the One Ring had been found.
Satisfied that he had learned all he could from the creature, Sauron allowed Gollum to be released in TA Without Sauron's power from the Ring to sustain it, it could not stand.
It is depicted as a castle-like fortress on the side of a mountain. This made the refuge defensible against an enemy attack. At each turn of the path there was a stone figure shaped like a man. These statues were known as Pukel-men. The Druedain were known for carving stone images of themselves called watch-stones, which they placed at the turnings of paths.
It seems likely that the Pukel-men at Dunharrrow were made by them. The Druedain were driven out of the White Mountains by a group of wicked Men from the East who became known as the Men of the Mountains. Dunharrow became a sacred place for the Men of the Mountains. At the end of the Second Age, these Men were cursed by Isildur for breaking their oath to fight Sauron.
They fled behind the Dark Door and haunted the Paths of the Dead. The were called the Dead Men of Dunharrow. Brego and his son Baldor found it while exploring the valley of Harrowdale for places where their people could seek refuge in time of need.
At the entrance to the Paths of the Dead, they encountered an old man who told them that the door was not open to the living. Baldor later entered the Dark Door and never returned. When Rohan was invaded by Dunlendings in , a group of Rohirrim led by Frealaf retreated to Dunharrow and took refuge there during the Long Winter. In the spring of , Frealaf led a raid against the Dunlendings and recaptured Edoras from them.
During the War of the Ring , Dunharrow was once again used as a refuge by the Rohirrim. Eowyn , the niece of King Theoden , led many of the people of Edoras there and organized their lodgings and provisions.
King Theoden came to Dunharrow on March 9, , and oversaw the muster of his army in Harrowdale the next day. When the army set out for Minas Tirith , many women, children, and old men remained behind in Dunharrow until Sauron was defeated. Dunharrow was so named because it was once a sacred site of the Men of the Mountains.
Also called the Hold of Dunharrow or simply the Hold. By the end of the Third Age, Durin's Tower had long been lost. Some Dwarves believed it had been destroyed, while others thought it was only a legend. Upon the Silvertine they fought the Battle of the Peak from January 23 to During the battle, the tower was destroyed and the entrance to the stair was blocked.
Durthang was originally a stronghold of Gondor , built to keep watch on Mordor after Sauron 's defeat in the War of the Last Alliance at the end of the Second Age. The Hobbits were disguised as Orcs and they were forced to march along with the troop for some distance before they were able to slip away. The palantir called the Elendil Stone was kept at Elostirion. This palantir was not in accord with the others and looked west across the Sea to Eressea, where the Master-stone was kept in the Tower of Avallone.
Hobbits said that one could see the Sea from the top of Elostirion, but no Hobbit had ever been known to climb it. At Crickhollow , Frodo dreamed of Elostirion in one of many dreams he had about the Sea:.
Helm's Deep was located near the Gap of Rohan at the foot of the three-peaked mountain called the Thrihyrne in the northwestern fork of the White Mountains. Between the arms of the Thrihyrne lay a valley called the Deeping-coomb. A trench and rampart called Helm's Dike stretched across the Deeping-coomb. Helm's Deep was a narrow ravine with high cliffs on the northern and southern sides that blocked out the sunlight. The Deeping-wall was built across the entrance to the ravine, and at the northern end of the wall was the fortress of the Hornburg.
No enemy had ever captured the Hornburg while it was defended. The Hornburg stood on a spur called the Hornrock that jutted out from the northern cliff. The Hornburg was surrounded by a wall, behind which was an outer court and a citadel containing an inner court and a tall tower.
In the tower was the great horn of Helm Hammerhand. When the horn was sounded, it echoed throughout the ravine and caused fear and dismay among enemy forces. A causeway led up to the Hornburg-gates. To one side of the main gate a narrow walkway led along the edge of the Hornrock to a small postern-door into the Hornburg.
There was also a rear-gate with a stairway leading down from the Hornburg into the ravine behind the Deeping-wall. The Deeping-wall stood 20 feet high and was wide enough for four men to stand side by side. The surface of the wall was smooth and nearly seamless. There was a tall parapet on the wall with openings for archers. Three staircases led down from the back of the wall into the ravine, and another staircase led up into the Hornburg. Behind the Deeping-wall, the cliffs drew closer together and formed the Narrows.
At the far end of the Narrows was the entrance to the Glittering Caves under the Thrihyrne. The Deeping-stream flowed from the caves and passed under the Deeping-wall through a small culvert and then looped around the Hornburg and under the causeway. The fortress and the Deeping-wall were built in the Third Age by the Men of Gondor sometime during the reign of the Ship-kings Its purpose was to guard the southern side of the Gap, while Isengard guarded the northern side.
In , the stronghold became part of the new land of Rohan. The ravine became known as Helm's Deep, and the fortress was called the Hornburg because Helm would sound his great horn before coming forth from the stronghold to raid the enemy camps.
After Yule , supplies ran low and the people in Helm's Deep were starving. Helm's son Hama left to find food but never returned. Helm later froze to death standing on Helm's Dike. The invaders were finally driven out of Rohan by Helm's nephew Frealaf. He made necessary repairs and strengthened the defenses of Helm's Deep.
Many of the people of the Westfold took shelter in the Glittering Caves. Erkenbrand rode out to gather the forces of the Westfold, leaving about 1, Rohirrim to defend Helm's Deep, including a company led by Gamling to man Helm's Dike. Theoden entered the Hornburg while his nephew Eomer commanded the defenses on the Deeping-wall with the help of Aragorn. Eomer and Aragorn led a sortie from the postern-door to prevent the enemy forces from battering down the gates and entering the Hornburg.
But Orcs set off an explosive device in the culvert under the Deeping-wall and they entered Helm's Deep through the breach. Many of the Rohirrim retreated into the Hornburg, while others who were cut off went farther back into Helm's Deep to defend the entrance to the Glittering Caves where the refugees hid. At dawn, the Orcs blew up the main gate of the Hornburg, but at that moment the horn of Helm Hammerhand sounded and Theoden led a charge from the gate down the causeway and all the way to Helm's Dike.
Saruman's forces fled before them, and in the Deeping-coomb beyond Helm's Dike they were confronted by a forest of Huorns sent by Treebeard that had filled the valley during the night. On the western ridge of the valley, Erkenbrand arrived with Gandalf and 1, Rohirrim and charged down the slopes.
The Men of Saruman's army surrendered, and the Orcs fled among the Huorns and never emerged again. The day after the Battle of Helm's Deep, the dead of Rohan were buried in two mounds in the field in front of the Hornburg, while Hama , the captain of the King's guard, was buried in a solitary grave. In the middle of the next night, the Huorns buried the Orcs under a hill of stones that became known as the Death Down where no man dared to walk.
The word deep refers to the deep valley between the cliffs. The Hornburg was named for the great horn of Helm. The word burg means "fortress, castle" in Old English. The Hornburg was also sometimes simply called the Burg and the Hornrock was called the Rock. The Men of Gondor originally gave the same name to the stronghold and the caves behind it - Aglarond , meaning "glittering caves.
Near the main gate of Minas Morgul in the city's northern wall, the road spanned a white bridge over the Morgulduin. At the head of the bridge stood hideous carved figures of both human and animal form. It was built to keep watch on Mordor when Gondor was founded in of the Second Age. Minas Ithil was a beautiful city and its walls gleamed silver and white with moonlight.
In front of his house, Isildur planted a sapling of the White Tree which he had rescued from the Downfall of Numenor , and in the tower was kept one of the palantiri called the Ithil-stone.
It was believed that Sauron had perished in the Downfall of Numenor, but his spirit surivived and he returned to Mordor in the same year that Gondor was founded.
With the One Ring , he secretly rebuilt his power. The guard on Mordor began to relax and people left Minas Ithil.
The Nazgul returned to Mordor in to prepare for Sauron's return. Their leader was the Witch-king of Angmar , Lord of the Nazgul.
In they laid siege to Minas Ithil and they captured the city in and took possession of the Ithil-stone. It was a place of fear and dread and its walls held a sickly light. In , King Earnur of Gondor accepted a challenge to fight the Witch-king of Angmar in single combat. He rode with a small company of knights to Minas Morgul and they were never seen again. Earnur was believed to have died in torment in Minas Morgul.
He left no heir, and it was from that time that the Stewards began to rule Gondor in absence of a King. Sauron returned secretly to Mordor in and in he declared himself openly and began to gather power again.
Sauron claimed the Ithil-stone and with it he was later able to ensnare Saruman and deceive Denethor , Steward of Gondor, who each had one of the other palantiri.
On June 20, , the Witch-king rode forth to lead an assault on Osgiliath, and then he rode north with the Nazgul in search of the Hobbit who bore the One Ring. Frodo felt compelled by the power of the Ring to approach the city where the Witch-king dwelled, but he was stopped by Sam and Gollum at the head of the bridge. They had begun to climb the path leading to Cirith Ungol when a great red flash was sent up from Barad-dur as a signal to launch the assault on Gondor. The Elves were helped by the power of Ulmo that infused the waters of the Sirion.
But two years later in , Morgoth's lieutenant Sauron attacked Minas Tirith and its defenders were overcome by a dark cloud of fear and they fled to Nargothrond. Sauron took up residence in Minas Tirith and filled it with evil creatures. From the tower, Sauron kept watch on the Pass of Sirion which was now under Morgoth's control.
Finrod used his arts to disguise himself and his companions as Orcs, but Sauron was not deceived and they were captured and thrown into the dungeons of Minas Tirith.
Werewolves devoured the Elves and Finrod died protecting Beren beneath the tower he had built. Luthien came to Beren's rescue with Huan the Hound. One by one, Huan slew the wolves that Sauron sent forth until Sauron himself came down from his tower in the form of a werewolf.
