Isengard
Wizard's stone stronghold
Isengard is a fortress in J.R.R.
Tolkien's Middle-earth, the stronghold of the wizard Saruman.
The name refers both to the ring of stone walls and the central tower, Orthanc.
In *The Lord of the Rings*, Isengard becomes a symbol of industrial corruption—Saruman tears down its gardens to build forges and breed armies.
The Ents destroyed Isengard.
