Minas Eriol is an area within the Lone-lands in the south-western region.
This area is enclosed within southern Annunlos and was once a majestic city of Cardolan. Its few entries are south of the Forsaken Inn and west of the Eglain Camp over the bride into Ost Laden, or around the keep and down the ditches. Its name is Sindarin for "Western Tower" and it stood erect watching the northern valley under the Weather Hills, but now it is inhabited by goblins, wargs, wolves, and vicious spiders.

Lore
- Prior to the heroes* entering the Lone-lands, it was invaded by orcs, goblins, wargs and half-orcs in service to Saruman. Minas Eriol was once the sister city of Ost Guruth, inhabitated by the Eglain; it was also known that deadly spiders inhabited the valley below the ruins, although this didn't seem to be a problem to the Eglain. It is guessed that Saruman's forces crossed the Lonespan, hugging the ridges that surrounded Minas Eriol, before coming upon the Egalin inhabitants unawares.
- By the time the heroes reach the Lone-lands, Minas Eriol and most of the Lone-lands had fallen to the White it is likely that Minas Eriol had fallen days before the heroes arrived as the corpses in the valley below are still fresh and there is still a female Eglain fighting in the city. -- (* players)
