Barad Iachiant (Sindarin for Tower of the Crossing Bridges) is a landmark within Minas Eriol, in the Lone-lands. ^{[35.8S, 38.3W]}

This ancient tower lies at the heart of Minas Eriol, once its proud centre. True to its name, Barad Iachiant is where bridges meet, though nowadays the "cross" exudes a different feeling whether among the goblins at the upper level or zigzagging between the grim spiders in the pits below.

Lore

"The tower of Barad Iachiant is the symbolic centre of the strongholds of Minas Eriol, once it rose high above the valleys below and caught the first rays of sunlight as it slanted in over the surrounding mountains.

"In ruins now, it is only a symbol of glories long lost." — Deed
