Osgiliath

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

The ruined former capital of Gondor — a shattered city straddling the Anduin, now a no-man's-land where Gondor's soldiers fight to hold river crossings against Mordor's endless probes.

Also known as: Osgiliath, the River City, Citadel of the Stars
