[QUOTE="Alaric_Prympax, post: 983102, member: 176"] I knew this would happen but I didn't have my copy of LotR with me when I first posted. Could you reference some page numbers? Now that I have my books in front of me... in the LotR page 479 of FotR at the end... "[I]The second part is called[/I] The Two Towers, [I]since the events recounted in it are dominated by[/I] Orthanc,[I] the citadel of Saruman, and the fortress of[/I] Minas Morgul [I]that guards the secret entrance to Mordor;[/I] "... The only time we actually see Barad-dur is when Frodo is climbing Mount Doom when he turns East and sees the pinnacles of its' top; and that's on page 244 in the [i]Return of the King[/i]. Seems pretty clear that in the [b]books[/b] that the Two Towers are Orthanc and Minas Morgul. Now there are several other towers in the books, the White Tower in Minas Tirith, Cirith Ungol, the Towers of the Teeth at the Morannan, and the light signal towers in Anorien from Minas Tirith to Rohan.
