==History==
===Second Age===
It is unknown exactly when Isengard was first established. However it must have been built between {{SA|3320}}, the year in which the realms of [[Gondor]] and [[Arnor]] were established, and {{SA|3430}}, the year in which the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]] was formed.<ref>{{App|B1}}</ref> The [[Ring of Isengard]], and the tower of [[Orthanc]] therein, were built by the [[Dúnedain]], the Exiles of [[Númenor]], as a fortress on the north-western tip of Gondor. Within Orthanc was placed one of the seven seeing stones, the [[palantíri]].<ref name="SV"/> This stone would be later referred to as the [[Orthanc-stone]].<ref>{{TT|Palantir}}</ref>

Following the [[Battle of Isengard]], the [[Ents]] destroyed the [[Ring of Isengard]] and filled the land with gardens of orchards and trees. A stream ran into a small clear lake, in the middle of which stood the black-stone tower of [[Orthanc]]. Whilst the Treegarth of Orthanc became part of the [[Reunited Kingdom]], [[Aragorn|King Elessar]] granted the Ents complete self-governance of, what was formerly, Isengard.<ref name="RKPartings" />
