Word of the Day: Minas Anor

December 6, 2021      1 Comment

Word of the Day – Minas Anor (currently Minas Tirith), ‘the tower of the Setting Sun.’ It is later called Minas Tirith (Tower of Guard) due to the increase in threats. It is located in the region North of Gondor. Over time, it became the greatest city of Gondor (now called the City of Gondor).

It is the place that Gandalf and Pippin went to in Return of the King, and the wedding place of Aragorn and Arwen.

Where did Minas Anor come from?

It got its name after Minas ‘tower, fort’ and Anor ‘the sun’.
