| | Minas Ithil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Faramir ruled from there with his new bride Éowyn, for King Elessar counseled that even though Minas Morgul was completely abandoned, the land was such a terror on the minds of Men that it would not be fit for habitation or even human contact for many years; he thus ordered the evil city demolished. | | | Because he had no heirs and was never declared officially dead, the line of the Stewards of Gondor ruled the kingdom in his stead until the king's return, beginning with Earnur's own majordomo, Mardil. | | | When Sauron returned after escaping Númenor's destruction, he attacked the exiles of Númenor, and his forces took Minas Ithil by storm. |

| | Tolkien's description of the physical layout of Minas Tirith is followed faithfully in Peter Jackson's film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, although there is no reason to suppose that the top of the rock is flattened and paved. | | | Although this is nowhere described, it is possible that the city may have reverted to its original name once it no longer needed to guard against evil. | | | The Rohirrim sometimes translate this into their own language as Mundburg. |

| | It seems from the Tale of the Years in Second Age that the Tower of Minas Ithil was finished in the year Second age 3320, the same year as the foundation of the realms in exile; Arnor and Gondor. | | | There in the tale it says that the sons of Elendil (Isildur and Anarion) "take four (of the Palantiri) and set them in Minas Ithil, at Minas Anor, at Osgiliath, and at Orthanc." In Minas Ithil was also planted the seedling of Nimloth the Fair that Elendil had brought out of Númenor. | | | Nothing else is told of Minas Ithil and what happened in the that city during the next 1640 years until the Great Plague that devastated Gondor (Third age 1636 - 1640) and forced the realm to leave Mordor unguarded and allowed the Lord of the Ringwraiths to gather his brethren there in Third age 1980. |
