Amon Dîn

Beacon-hill with grey thickets and a great gap in the hills, part of the east-west line of warning beacons.

Amon Dîn, the first sentinel hill in the ancient chain of warning beacons stretching from Minas Tirith to Gondor's northern borders, stands as a pivotal landmark in the defense of the realm during the War of the Ring. Featured prominently in The Return of the King, it serves as the initial site where the beacons are ignited to summon aid from Rohan amid Sauron's assault. Though static as a geographical feature, its activation marks a critical moment of desperate communication, embodying Gondor's enduring vigilance and alliance with its western neighbors.
