Îfath Dúath

The Gonderyth Dúath (S. “Cliffs of Shadow”) rose like a huge tree-topped eyebrow, formed on the fault-line of a broad hogsbacked hill, Dol Henfin, in Forithilien. They faced north and west and the grey scar was clearly visible from the Nan Ascarwing for many miles. From their high position one could look down on the North Road which passed between Minas Morgûl and the Morannon, and on to Dor Rhúnen.
