The Tower of Orthanc

Rising Above Everyone for Many Years

Home  *  History  *

Image of Orthanc, eventually. Don't be hasty.  Hoom hom. Orthanc is under new management. Single annoying folk have been known to be "accidentally" stepped on by the nearest Ent. Groups of annoying folk will be flooded down river.

A scribe, once employed by the previous management, sells something very popular for travelers of Middle-earth, especially after almost falling in one of the pits kept to show tourists. He claims we should put rails around them, but we refuse to use wood.  He is on floor nine, selling "insurance".

Please enjoy the fabulous gardens and singing trees. Conversationalists welcome! Especially very, very good listeners.

History:
    "Ahh, you wish to hear the history of Orthanc, young Entling? You are not an Entling? Ah, of course. There have been no Entlings for a long, long time. Now when I was but a seedling newly formed in the Beginning of Arda...."

No trees were killed in the formation of this page written strictly on pixels. Really! We didn't...! <gallops away on horseback>

Inscribed by Varda before the dreams of Irmo came while waiting for the Ents to finish saying "Good morning."
