Gondor

Gondor is a fictional kingdom in J.R.R.

Tolkien's Middle-earth, the southern realm of Men in *The Lord of the Rings*.

Founded by exiles from the island of Númenor, it represents the remnant of ancient human civilization—noble but diminished, awaiting the return of its rightful king.

The beacons of Gondor are lit.
