Calenhad¸ A Beacon of Gondor
![]() |
Klappentext: Located in the northern foothills of the Ered Nimrais¸ Calenhad is one in a chain of seven beacon-towers. Its watch-fire relays warning to Minas Tirith of any attack on Gondor’s frontiers. Whether a Dunlending invasion from the west¸ an Orcish raid across the Anduin¸ or civil strife within Calenardhon¸ the tower’s beacon is set ablaze.
Calenhad’s elevated site on steep cliffs originally sported just a rude signal-platform. The structure’s fire-cage¸ when set alight¸ warned nearby Gondorian settlements of incursions by Dunnish tribes. Centuries later¸ when Easterlings raided across the Anduin¸ a more formidable tower was built over the platform’s ruins. As the Shadow in Mordor grew¸ the tower was expanded and strengthened to become a fortress of considerable military significance.
CALENHAD features:
Over 20 pages of layouts¸ illustrations¸ and perspectives. Complete¸ multi-level floorplans for 4 guard-towers¸ the gatehouse¸ and the impressive beacon-tower. Typical layouts for watch-towers on the outer curtain wall and the wall-towers overlooking the inner bailey. Room by room descriptions and adventure suggestions. Statistics for the garrison of Calenhad and important NPCs residing in the beacon’s vicinity.
