From the impregnable walls of the Hornburg to the banners high atop the Tower of Ecthelion from the breeding pits beneath Isengard to the great lighthouse in the harbor at Umbar, Middle-earth is a world full of remarkable structures, ancient monuments, vast cities, and imposing fortresses. Maps of Middle-earth, Volume 2: Cities and Strongholds brings J.R.R. Tolkien's world to life for the casual fan and collector alike.
