![]() ![]() I believe that in Tolkien's works these are the two towers however in PJ's films' continuity they definitively seem to be Barad-dûr and Orthanc, as is hinted throughout the TT film. Above and beneath Orthanc, a wizard's pentacle and a white hand symbolize the influence of Saruman." This implies that the two towers are indeed Orthanc and Minas Morgul, which Tolkien drew himself. Released between 20, the Extended Editions of Peter Jacksons The Lord of the Rings - comprised of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King - add a whopping 2 hours and 5 minutes of content to an already-lengthy trilogy. The tengwar inscription in the centre reads, 'In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.' At the base of Minas Morgul are the nine rings of the Ringwraiths, while above it a crescent moon hints at the earlier name of the tower, Minas Ithil, Tower of the Moon, before it was taken and defiled by Sauron's forces. Wandering in the forest, the hobbits climb a small hill to get a better view of the area. When the battle begins, the hobbits hide in the forest. It shows the One Ring above Mount Doom, flanked by the towers of Minas Morgul and Orthanc, while above it flies a Nazgûl. In the night, the leader of the Mordor orcs carries the hobbits away from the main group of orcs to search for the Ring, but he is killed by a horsemans spear. On the back of the book it confirms your findings, as it states: "The cover of this new edition of 'The Two Towers' is based on Tolkien's own unused sketch of 1954. The previous two films, The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, had set a new standard for fantasy moviemaking, vividly bringing JRR Tolkiens classic books to life. I myself have the 'jacket design' collection of the books. Gandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Saurons army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring. Brilliant! I am enjoying your new blog posts.
