The baths of Minas Ithil were once a place to rest and relax, and the people who lived here scrubbed away the dirt and the grime of their daily lives, sinking into waters of contentment. Now the baths are empty of all good folk, haunted by shades of evil.
Many inhabitants of the Circle of Mirth in Minas Ithil were drowned in the baths when Sauron's forces conquered the city for the second time, and many of them now haunt the Circle of Despair in Minas Morgul.
