Encyclopedia of Arda: Narchost (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | One of the towers known as the Teeth of Mordor, that stood on two hills either side of the Black Gate of the Morannon, guarding the northwestern entrance into Mordor. |
| | Narchost and its companion Carchost were originally built by the Gondorians, as a guard on Mordor after Sauron's first defeat. |
| | The Lord of the Rings never states whether Narchost was the western or eastern of the Towers, but a variety of circumstantial evidence points to it being the tower that stood to the west of the Morannon. |
