Thuringwathost

Thuringwathost lay 12 miles southeast of the Dead Marshes. It was not a place suited to the weak, the inexperienced, or the faint of heart. The commanders of Gondor did not know how foolish they were when they scorned the Marshmen and Asdriags who feared the rock formation known as both the "High Fortress" and "Sarnen Thuringwath," or the Rocks of Secret Shadow.Sauron was delighted with the deception: he constantly found the activities of Thuringwathost a source of amusement and valued it for providing a guard for his Orc-trains and as a steady source of information about the area.
