Built on a spur of the Ered Lithui, and fashioned by the power of Sauron's Ruling Ring, Barad-dûr consisted of a great central tower with nine radial towers connected to it by fortified bridges. No stronger fortress ever existed in Middle-earth. Once the seat of Sauron's power, Barad-dûr fell when Isildur cut the Ring from Sauron's hand. Orcs and Trolls now control the area, and no Man has visited Barad-dûr since the Plague.
