Find Ost Nuaran ^{[8.0S, 53.2W]}

Find Falconer's Tower ^{[8.7S, 53.4W]}

The Falconer's Tower was a watch-tower from which guardsmen could see for miles across the North Downs. It was named so because the guardsmen used falcons to espy the land and deliver messages to the king at Fornost Erain.

Tham Lorn was the second of two fortresses set to guard the Evendim Gate, the passage to Annúminas, the ancient capital of Arnor. Fell spirits now haunt its ruined halls.
