Jan 13, 2013 - Minas Arnor - When Elendil and his people arrived in Middle Earth, his two sons established the kingdom of Gondor which they ruled jointly from two cities. Minas Arnor on the west of the Anduin River and Minas Ithil to the east. Many centuries later, the eastern city was lost to dark forces and Minas Arnor was renamed Minas Tirith. From that time onwards, it was the capitol city of Gondor. The city was built on seven levels with a strong gate separating each level.
