Gondor

Location from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

The greatest kingdom of Men in Middle-earth — a once-magnificent realm of white stone cities and ancient bloodlines, now stretched thin defending the world against Mordor's shadow.

Also known as: Gondor, the South-kingdom, the White City's realm, Land of Stone

What They Know

• Gondor has been ruled by Stewards for 969 years — the line of kings was broken and no one has claimed the throne since
• The beacons of Gondor are a chain of signal fires from Minas Tirith to Edoras that can summon Rohan's aid in hours
• Osgiliath, the old capital, has been a contested ruin for decades — whoever holds its river crossings controls access to Minas Tirith
• The Corsairs of Umbar threaten Gondor's southern coast, forcing the kingdom to fight on multiple fronts
• Denethor, the current Steward, possesses a palantír and has been using it secretly — the strain is breaking him
• Gondor's population has been declining for centuries; entire provinces are depopulated
• Ithilien, once Gondor's garden, is now a no-man's-land patrolled only by Faramir's Rangers
