Amon Hen
Amon Hen is a significant hill on the western shores of a lake, its feet featuring a green lawn fed by a small spring and its slopes clad in trees including rowan that march along the curving shoreline. An ancient ruined path with cracked stone stairs winds up to the summit where a wide flat circle is paved with mighty stone flags and ringed by a crumbling battlement. At the center stands a high seat atop four carven pillars reached by many steps, evoking the grandeur of the Men of Númenor in a sunny, open eastern lawn that feels both peaceful and watchful.
