Gondor (Earth-1943)

"Growing up at Ironrath, all I ever wanted was to escape, to come here, to the capital. To see the southern knights and their painted armor, and Gondor after dark. All the candles burning in all those windows..."

Gondor is the capital and largest city of the Seven Kingdoms of Middle-Earth. Located on the east of Middle Earth in the Crownlands and overlooking the Blackwater Bay, it is bordered by Ironrath in the north, the cape of Andrast in the west, Harad to the south, and Mordor to the east.

Gondor was founded by King Amandil of the Númenóreans, following the destruction of Númenórë during the Change of the World. Amandil crafted a fort at the top of a hill, later named after himself, and used the new city as a base of operations in an effort to conquer Middle-Earth. After half a decade of his efforts, Amandil was able to fulfill his goal, quickly transforming his city into Gondor.
