Minas Tirith

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

The White City — Gondor's seven-tiered capital carved into a mountainside, its white walls gleaming in defiance of the darkness gathering in Mordor across the river.

Also known as: Minas Tirith, the White City, City of Kings, Mundburg, Tower of Guard

What They Know

• The Great Gate has never been breached in the city's history — until Grond
• Denethor rules from the Citadel and has been using a palantír to watch Mordor — it has driven him toward despair
• The Houses of Healing on the sixth level can treat almost any wound — but the Black Breath of the Nazgûl requires a king's touch
• The White Tree in the Citadel is dead — legend says it will bloom again when the king returns
• Seven levels means seven gates, each offset from the last — an attacker must cross the entire width of each level to reach the next gate
• The Citadel Guard wears black and silver with the emblem of the White Tree
• The Rammas Echor — an outer wall encircling the Pelennor — is Minas Tirith's first line of defense
