The Sea-ward Tower, or Tirith Aear in Sindarin, was a tower situated in or near Dol Amroth.[1] A verse recorded in the Red Book tells of "one slow bell high in the Seaward Tower".[2]

Portrayal in adaptations[edit | edit source]

1996: MERP:

The Sea-ward Tower is conceived to have been constructed as a refuge for the Elves of Edhellond by the Sinda Lord Amroth, between S.A. 1600 and S.A. 1620. It is also said to have been used by Galadriel, who installed "a huge bronze bell in its highest chamber" in T.A. 1. A full layout of the tower is provided.[3]
