- THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY - THE TOWER OF ...

Imposing upon the lands like a dark giant  a solitary figure of dominating size  striking awe
and wonder at both its purpose and construction  stood the incomparable tower: Orthanc.
Standing in the center of the Ring of Isengard was a great stone tower of polished black.
Carved from a monolith of dark rock centuries ago by art long forgotten  the Tower of Orthanc
stood stark and hard against a field of green trees and soaring snow-capped mountains. In the
waning years of the Third Age  it was the home of the wizard Saruman  and in its dark chambers
he spent his days studying the ways of the enemy so he could better understand and ultimately
defeat him. A Palantír Saruman held  one of the ancient seeing stones of Númenor. Many long
hours the wizard spent gazing into this magical sphere  watching Sauron  believing himself wise
and powerful and resistant to the devices of his enemy. But in truth  Saruman's own pride and
folly led him willingly into Sauron's trap  for he fell in love with the Dark Lord's arts and
longed for his power. Through the stone  his mind was twisted until he became a vassal of
Mordor  and Orthanc  once a place of learning and beauty  was plundered by orcs  now a place of
fear. Gone were the trees  pinnacles to feed the fires of industry that burned in pits around
the tower  and the plains within the ringed wall were a scorched wasteland of ash where armies
drilled and marched as a prelude to waging war against those Saruman once called friends.
