| + | This battering ram was the only ram that could break the gates of Minas Tirith, and it was a fearsome sight to behold obviously. It is unknown if the ram was salvaged by sauron's forces after the battle, or if it was lost or wrecked by the forces of Gondor or Rohan during or after the subsequent battle of pellenor fields. | ||
