Fall of Minas Ithil

The Fall of Minas Ithil was not only a tactical victory for Sauron, but a strategic one as well. Minas Ithil would later become Minas Morgul, and it is here the Nazgul resided. From here a palantir was given to Sauron, who would later use this device to break Saruman and Denethor.

At this battle, Isildur and his sons retreated from the forces of Mordor and sought refuge in the realms of Gondor and Arnor.
