		Akkurat i Minas er det vel bare snakk om å spille skiva om og om igjen, slik jeg har gjort den siste måneden.
		Minas Tirith er en gjeng som nok taper litt på denne greia, men jeg fant i hvert fall ei skive som åpnet seg godt opp og står som en overraskelse.
		Minas Tirith has always been quite a strange band to me. I started listening to Minas Tirith back in 1993 when they released their first cd release called "Mythology".

		Minas Morgul, the Tower of Sorcery, was the stronghold of the Ringwraiths.
		After the War of the Ring, Sauron's forces abandoned Minas Morgul, but such was the horror of the place that the Army of the West refused to enter it, contenting themselves with burning the fields of corpse-flowers and casting down it's bridge.
		Although Minas Morgul holds its allegiance with Mordor, it was however, considered a realm apart, free to govern its own affairs and mass it's own armies, all under the malevolent rule of the Witch King.

		'Minas Tirith' was the name given to this city after the capture of Minas Ithil by the Nazgûl in 2002 (Third Age).
		After the destruction of Osgiliath, Minas Tirith became the seat of power in the South-kingdom.
		The choice of this name was almost certainly influenced by the 'tower of guard' that had stood in Beleriand some 5,000 years earlier - the Minas Tirith built by Finrod to guard the Pass of Sirion.

		As they watched, the first light of dawn shone forth and fell upon the peak of Mount Minnie™, bathing it in gold, and glittered on the brightly painted towers that rose so high above the Castle of Lornavaniwen™ that was carved out of the mountain itself at the city's peak.
		Minas Tirith™ had an air of great antiquity and permanence, yet in truth it was year by year falling into decay.
		At first the mountainside loomed up far above the buildings that they passed, but as they went farther up the slope, the buildings grew taller and taller and seemed to be part of the mountain themselves.
