Eilenach

Second Beacon-hill of Gondor

Eilenach was the second of the seven Beacon-hills of Gondor, which ran west from Minas Tirith. It was the highest point within the Drúadan Forest.

Description

Eilenach had a sharp summit, incapable of sustaining a large fire. Its main purpose was to relay the fire of the first Beacon-hill, Amon Dîn, to the third, Nardol.

History

On the night of 7 March Third Age 3019, Gandalf and Pippin, riding eastward on Shadowfax, saw the beacons being lit to call for aid from Rohan.

Etymology

Tolkien wrote Eilenach is "probably an alien name, not Sindarin, not Númenórean, or Common speech." Perhaps it was pre-Númenórean.
