Lûghash, the Flaming Spire

Lûghash
Region:	The Plateau of Gorgoroth
Area:	Dor Amarth
Location:	[42.8S, 15.8E]

Location

Lûghash (Black Speech and Orkish for the Flaming Spire) is located within the area of Dor Amarth in the Plateau of Gorgoroth. ^{[42.8S, 15.8E]}

It was originally a Gondorian tower known as Sídhost (Sindarin for Peace-tower), but it was eventually abandoned and fell into ruin. The forces of Mordor erected dark fortifications on the structure, renaming it Lûghash. After completion of the quest A House Forged Anew, Lûghash becomes known as the Oath-taker's Horn.

There are two entrances to Lûghash:

• The hidden gate at the rooftop is entered first during the quest The Path to the Flaming Spire. Once completed, access is always available. To reach it, climb the stairs at the rear pathway of Lûghash (near the group of Devoted Warriors).
• Access to the front entrance is acquired via the quest Breaking the Oath-taker's Horn.

Services

The following services can be found within the settlement of Lûghash before it becomes the Oath-taker's Horn:

• Barber -- on the central level
• Forge-master -- on the lower level beside a forge
• Provisioner -- on the central level

Travelling
