Anusta Suhtoviëtaro (Q. "Monastery of Suhtoviëtar", Suhtoviëtar = "vigorous-high-air") was a Gondorian monastery in the county of Mirach in the southern vales of the central Ered Nimrais. It was one of a number of small religious refuges, built in the Second Age by faithful Númenórean Anustari fleeing from persecution by the Kingsmen.
Like its pendant Anusta Voronetyaro, Suhtoviëtar was a genuine masterpiece of Númenórean art and architecture. The building was painted with illustrations of scriptural stories and historical scenes that were unique, from battle scenes and sieges to a genealogical tree. One fresco was of extraordinary interest: the fires of some hell-pit flame around struggling souls and live coals scorching their tormented bodies, while animals gave back fragments of human bodies to supplement those which had been savaged.
