Story and setting
Middle-earth – The Third Age and The War of the Ring
Gondor was the most prominent kingdom of Men in Middle-earth. Bordered by Mordor to the east, this battle-hardened realm stood as a bulwark against the shadow for thousands of years during the Third Age.
Origin and Significance of the Ruins
While Minas Tirith served as Gondor's capital, Osgiliath stood as its original capital before falling into ruin. As the War of the Ring raged throughout Gondor itself, many townships and outposts followed in its wake.
