Exerted by the Ring and with the Nazgûl so close, the Hobbit struggles to remain composed and not yield himself to their summons. Hoping to sneak past the City of Wraiths and thereby into Mordor, Frodo and his companions pick their way carefully by the gruesome stone sentinels guarding Minas Morgul’s causeway. Under the gloom of Mordor’s darkened skies, a sickly green glow issued from the city, now renamed Minas Morgul, the Tower of Black Sorcery, and it became a place of dread. Orcs tore down the city’s structures and camped in its streets, their ugly, corroding fortifications encrusting its walls and staining once pristine bricks with black defilement. Halls once full of brave soldiers were haunted by Wraiths and their terrifying mounts. The Witch-king of Angmar descended and claimed the citadel as his keep.
But when Gondor’s power waned and the enemy rose again in strength, Minas Ithil fell and became the domain of evil things.
Built in the Mountains of Ephel Dúath as a watch upon Sauron’s land of Mordor, the city’s gleaming towers shone silver-white beneath the light of the moon after which it was named. The trebuchets on the city walls are also fully functional.Minas Ithil was the shining sister city of Minas Anor in the early days of Gondor. The rubber-band powered catapult throws the spheres. Of course, a Mordor Orc Army would make an excellent battle-builder set, something like the Uruk Hai Army set from the first wave of Lord of the Rings sets. Some rooms include the library, the throne room, the catacombs, and a kitchen cellar. The white city is filled with fun features and detailed interiors. The different curtains of the city are held in place when assembled by spacer bricks on the ground. I believe this is a critical scene that deserves to be made, and as I think I have showcased above, the set can exist at a manageable size, with plenty of figures and play features, while maintaining its signature appearance.Īs you can see, a modular design would make Minas Tirith more manageable to build, store, and play with.
The siege of Minas Tirith, as seen in "The Return of the King," is an iconic scene from the world of Tolkien that TLG has not yet covered with their products. This is my idea for a new LEGO Lord of the Rings set.
