Nardol
Third Beacon-hill of Gondor
Nardol was the third of seven Beacon-hills of Gondor, which ran west from Minas Tirith on the northern side of the White Mountains that looked down on the plains of Anórien. It stood on the broad end of a ridge of the White Mountains, west of the Drúadan Forest.
Description
Nardol was the place of a guard station well-stored with fuel to support a large signal fire, which could be seen on a clear night as far way as the Halifirien (some 120 miles to the west). The guard of Nardol also protected the quarries.. A line of hills ran from Nardol to Amon Dîn.
History
Etymology
Nardol is Sindarin, meaning "fire-hilltop" (naur "fire" + dol "hill"), because its beacon-fire was so bright.
Portrayal in adaptations
2015: The Lord of the Rings Online:
Nardol is located just east of the river that separates the Drúadan Forest from the Beacon-hills. During the ride of the Rohirrim, the player and Herefara patrol Nardol to make sure it is clear of enemies.
