Further into Rath Cail.
The road to Kála-murg branches from the main road. [54.0S, 6.2E]
Mordor Orc-trackers are ambushed by Ungol Spiderlings. Here the road splits again: east past Lugvarg and into Talath Úrui, and south onwards through Rath Cail. [54.1S, 6.8E]
The side road to Kála-murg loops around Ceber Dúath and past Nelegroth to rejoin the main road here. To the east is the slope up to the Morgai ridge. [55.7S, 7.0E]
Cirith Ungol looms over southern Rath Cail.
East of Cirith Ungol is a cleft that runs beneath Iant Angos and opens onto the road beneath the staircases. [59.4S, 9.8E]
The southernmost point of Rath Cail, atop the first flight of stairs. [60.4S, 9.6E]
