	Orthanc
		Orthanc is a tower in J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy world of Middle-earth.

		In Peter Jackson's movie The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers the towers referred to are Barad-Dûr and Orthanc, although in the book The Two Towers the towers are Barad-Dûr and Minas Morgul.

		During the Fourth Age Orthanc was searched by Aragorn King Elessar, and he found there many heirlooms of Isildur, among them the original Elendilmir, the Star of Arnor, which proved that Saruman had found (and probably destroyed) Isildur's remains.

	Palantir / Palantiri
		The Orthanc-stone was placed in the impregnable Tower of Orthanc in the stronghold of Isengard on the western edge of Gondor.

	Orthanc
		ORTHANC toured concerts in Bryansk, Ryasan', Karachev, in Zelenograd as well.
		Occasionally, I met ORTHANC, or to be more precise, ORTHANC found me. I'm very glad to belong to ORTHANC from the very beginning of our band.
		I guess ORTHANC doesn’t have much in common with the bands who represent this style - I mean BESTIAL WARLUST, DESTROYER 666, SADISTIK EXEKUTION, etc...

	Encyclopedia of Arda: Orthanc
		The mighty tower of unbreakable stone built by the Men of Gondor in the beginning of their realm, set in the Ring of Isengard at the southern feet of the Misty Mountains.
		We can therefore fairly safely date the name 'Orthanc' as emerging in Rohan sometime after III 2759, the year Saruman took up residence there.
		The name they chose for the whole complex of Isengard, where Orthanc stood, is recorded: Angrenost, 'the fortress of Angren'.

	Saruman
		At first Saruman lived in Orthanc by permission of Steward Beren of Minas Tirith.
		About T.A. 3000, Saruman used the palantir of Orthanc, and was trapped by Sauron, after which, though he thought himself to be free, he was controlled by the Dark Tower.
		In the language of Orthanc help means ruin, and saving means slaying, that is plain.” Theoden in his turn affirms that “you are a liar, Saruman, and a corrupter of men's hearts.” And Gandalf adds: “Saruman, you missed your path in life.

	Fantasy Flight Games Forum - Ents vs. Saruman in Rohan Scenario (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		If the Ents attack an army in Orthanc and the army is destroyed by the Ent attack Saruman is destroted along with it but if no Shadow army is present the Ents walking into Orthanc only forces Saruman to sit tight inside his tower.
		I know he can be eliminated within a defeated army defending Orthanc, but the game rules also specify that the FP can win if he controls Orthanc or if Saruman is eliminated at the end of a turn.
		It is possible for the FP to attack Orthanc and kill the army defending it (and Saruman along with it) and then lose Orthanc to a Shadow counter-attack later in the same turn.

	The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - The Palantir of Orthanc
		When Pippin retreived the Palantir after Wormtongue threw it from Orthanc, it is described as having a glowing red center.
		However, I seem to recall one of Denethor's guards commenting on the farsightedness of the Steward and mentioning the belief that Denethor from time to time grappled with the mind of Sauron and that white light would issue from the windows of his tower.
		I tend to agree that the lure of the Orthanc stone probably derived from Sauron.

		I find squeezing tall towers into square formats VERY hard to do, so I naturally ended up drawing a lot that will never be on the box.
		The design of the tower is very different from the Tower of Orthanc in the film trilogy, which Alan Lee designed from top to bottom.
		A bit of a digression here: Alan had done a wonderful illustration of the base of Saruman's tower for the Lord of the Rings, which Peter had always admired.

	Orthanc
		o it was that when summer waned, there came a night of moon, and Gwaihir the Windlord, swiftest of the Great Eagles, came unlooked-for to Orthanc; and he found me standing on the pinnacle.
		ound and round the rock of Orthanc the Ents went striding and storming like a howling gale, breaking pillars, hurling avalanches of boulders down the shafts, tossing up huge slabs of stone into the air like leaves.
		I saw iron posts and blocks of masonry go rocketing up hundreds of feet, and smash against the windows of Orthanc.

	Tower of Orthanc at Isengard: A LEGO® creation by Jim Garrett : MOCpages.com
		I started on a true minifig scale version of Orthanc but with a base almost two feet across and a projected height of over 10 feet, I suspended the project since when I remembered that it would take eight times as many Legos (which I did not have).
		This Orthanc creation is the second best that I have seen so far.
		I tried to make an Orthanc tower but it didn't look as good as yours.

		The scene where Gwaihir resues Gandalf from the dizzy heights of Orthanc is one of my favorites (I'm talking about the scene, not my try at it.) It is eerie and poetic and deserves several paintings.
		But, if Thorondor had a wingspan of 20 fathoms, which is 120 feet, then Gwaihir seems rather modest compared to his illustrious ancestor.
