Rammas Echor
unique_objectGreat out-wall of stone enclosing Pelennor fields, ten leagues long, high and strong with gates and towers
The Rammas Echor stands as the formidable stone wall encircling the Pelennor Fields before Minas Tirith, a ten-league-long barrier of towering strength designed to shield the city's fertile lands from invaders. Introduced in The Return of the King, it represents Gondor's defensive prowess but meets a swift and brutal end during the War of the Ring. Breached by the vast orc armies of Sauron in a single night, its fall marks the dire vulnerability of the White City and sets the stage for the epic Siege of Minas Tirith.
