Mountains on the northern border of Mordor.The tower overlooked the
plateau of Gorgoroth.Dark Tower to the Black
Gate, about 100 miles away.Sauron's Road ran from the western gate of the
Dark Tower over an iron bridge spanning an abyss and then across Gorgoroth
to the eastern slopes of Mount Doom.The tower was black and it was wreathed in veils
of shadow woven by Sauron.It was very tall with many walls, battlements,
and towers.The highest tower was topped with an iron crown and in it was
the Window of the Eye from which Sauron gazed.The tower was completed around the year 1600 S.Pharazon's forces, Sauron came down from the Dark Tower and allowed

Smeagol," p."The Passage of the Marshes," p."Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit," p."The Black Gate Opens," p.The Silmarillion:
"Akallabeth,"
p.The hill of Dol Guldur was originally called Amon Lanc, the Naked Hill,
because it was bare of trees with a stony summit.Amon Lanc was on the
western edge of the forest across the Anduin
from Lothlorien.Around the year 1050 of the Third
Age, Sauron began to regain strength after his defeat in the War
of the Last Alliance.He came to Amon Lanc and built a great tower
and stronghold on the hill.The hill was renamed Dol Guldur, the Hill of
Black Magic, and the stronghold was referred to by this name as well.The evil power that occupied Dol
Guldur was known as the Necromancer.It was not known at first that the
Necromancer was Sauron; it was thought that it might be one of the Nazgul.The Watchful
Peace lasted until 2460, when Sauron returned to Dol Guldur.Before he died, Thrain
gave Gandalf a map and key to the Lonely
Mountain to be passed on to his son Thorin Oakenshield.At a meeting
of the White Council in 2851 he urged an attack on the stronghold.This time Saruman agreed because he had learned
that Sauron was also searching for the One Ring in the Gladden Fields.But Sauron had been prepared for the assault and he went
in secret to the Dark Tower, his great stronghold
in Mordor.Sauron maintained an outpost at Dol
Guldur and in 2951 he sent the Nazgul known as Khamul
the Easterling to command the stronghold.In March of 3018, scouts from Dol
Guldur became aware that Gollum had been brought
to Mirkwood and was being held prisoner by Thranduil.On March 15, the second assault was launched against Lothlorien,
while farther north in Mirkwood forces from Dol Guldur engaged the Elves
of the Woodland Realm in battle.The Elves captured Dol Guldur and Galadriel threw
down the walls of the stronghold and the shadow was lifted from the forest.Dol Guldur was originally
called Amon Lanc.Amon Lanc means "Naked Hill" from amon

and the Dwimorberg in the center.It was a high, level space covered by a grassy field called the Firienfeld.Firienfeld

the niece of King Theoden, led many of the people
of Edoras there and organized their lodgings and provisions.King Theoden
came to Dunharrow on March 9, 3019, and oversaw the muster of his army
in Harrowdale the next day.Etymology:
Dunharrow is derived from
the word Dunhaerg or Dunharg, meaning "the heathen fane on
the hillside" in the language of Rohan and in Old English, from the word
dun
meaning "hill" and the word hearg meaning "temple, sanctuary."Dunharrow was so named because it was once
a sacred site of the Men of the Mountains.Also called the Hold of Dunharrow
or simply the Hold.By the end of the Third Age, Durin's
