An ancient Ring thought lost for centuries has been found, and through a strange twist in fate has been given to a small Hobbit named Frodo. When Gandalf discovers the Ring is in fact the One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron, Frodo must make an epic quest to the Cracks of Doom in order to destroy it! However he does not go alone. He is joined by Gandalf, Legolas the elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Aragorn, Boromir and his three Hobbit friends Merry, Pippin and Samwise. Through mountains, snow, darkness, forests, rivers and plains, facing evil and danger at every corner the Fellowship of the Ring must go. Their quest to destroy the One Ring is the only hope for the end of the Dark Lords reign!
MODEL: Tower of Orthanc
Orthanc was built near the end of second age by the numenoreans of gondor out of a single piece of stone by an unknown process and then hardened. No known weapon could harm it. Orthanc rose 500 feet above the plain of Isengard, with the tower ending in four sharp peaks. Its only entrance was at the top of a high stair, and above that was a small window.
Orthanc housed one of the palantir of the south kingdom, and was guarded by a special warden until Isengard was mostly abandoned by Gondor. Afterwards, the tower remained locked and no one was allowed without further permission of the steward.
