The Beacon-wardens were the only inhabitants of the Wood, save wild beasts; they housed in lodges in the trees near the summit, but they did not stay long, unless held there by foul weather, and they came and went in turns of duty.

Unfinished Tales, Cirion And Eorl And The Friendship Of Gondor And Rohan

Gondor tower guards are the special Gondor soldiers that guard the beacon towers of Gondor and the White Mountains.

They can be distinguished by their winged Gondorian helmets and blue capes. They use Gondorian spears as their weapon of choice.

Note: Gondor Tower Guards are not the Guards of the Citadel. The helmets of the Guards of the Citadel were made of Mithril, their surcoats were black and silver, and they only positioned before the Court of the Fountain of the White City. The NPC in the mod represents the Beacon-Wardens.

Behaviour[]

Gondor tower guards defend their Beacon Tower at all costs. When seeing a mob or NPC that they dislike, they will engage in melee combat using their spear.

In older versions, tower guards used to throw their spears at enemies, and then follow up with melee attacks from another spear if they were close enough. If they were too far away to execute a melee attack, they would throw another spear –- these soldiers seemed to have an infinite supply of spears.

Spawning[]

Gondor tower guards only spawn naturally within a beacon tower (this includes beacon towers that are generated along with Gondor fortresses)  and will always spawn in pairs. They always carry spears. Unlike normal soldiers, these guards never spawn riding a horse.

Hiring[]

A Gondor tower guard can be hired at +450 Gondor alignment from a Gondorian captain, which can be found in Gondor fortresses, and they cost 25-50 ( 25  25  to  50 ) silver coins. As always, as one's alignment increases, price decreases. Only players who have pledged their allegiance to Gondor may hire these units.

Advantages Disadvantages
Higher health than Gondor Soldiers Not particularly good against Warg riders
Combined with protection from armour, a Gondor Tower Guard needs to be dealt 38.5 HP in order to be slain Significantly more expensive than Gondor Soldiers
Stronger against Olog-hai than a normal Gondor Soldier Not very powerful in melee due to use of spear

Drops[]

Like the normal soldiers, Gondor Tower Guards commonly drop bones. They have a rare chance of dropping the Gondorian armour or weapons that they are carrying upon their death.

  • Welcome, Person. What business brings you to Gondor?
  • Good day, Person! Welcome to the land of Gondor.
  • I have heard stories that the Kings may one day return and rule Gondor once more. But those are just folk-tales; they cannot be true...
  • Greetings, Person. What news do you bring to Gondor from afar?
  • An evil is rising once more behind the walls of Mordor. I fear it shall be our doom.
  • My kin protect these lands. If not for the brave Men of Gondor, the world would have succumbed to the Shadow a long time ago.
  • The heroes of Gondor shall rise to protect us, Person.
  • Gondor was once one of the greatest realms of Men. Yet today it is merely a land of crumbling brick, and false hearts...
  • I have trained all my life to kill Orcs. But may the Valar save me if a Troll comes knocking!
  • You may have travelled far to see Gondor, Person. Yet I think you have found it in dark days.
  • If the Enemy should send all his might against us, Person... well, I doubt we would see another dawn!
  • I pity the rangers in Ithilien, Person. They will be the first to fall.
  • I very much doubt our aged defences can withstand the might of Mordor. Yet still, I shall fight to my last, for the freedom of Men.
  • You come on a fine day, Person. The Orcs have not raided our lands in more than a week.
  • There have been foul airs on the wind of late. We fear something is gathering behind the mountains of ash.
  • We live in fear here, Person. If you seek safety, I would advise you to travel to the lands of the Prince.
  • It would take thousands of Orcs to bring down even a dozen good Gondorians.
  • If anything foul should befall Gondor, then the Rohirrim would ride to our aid. I am sure of it.
  • Do not think Gondor weak, Person. In heart and spirit, the Men of Gondor shall always remain strong.
  • I have seen with my eyes the ruin of Osgiliath, where once was our capital city. But for five hundred years, that city has been host to naught but silent grief, a reminder of Gondor's darkening decline.
  • Have you seen the Argonath, Person? They are a sight to behold!
  • The vales of the Anduin are beautiful lands, almost rivalling the beauty of Gondor itself.
  • Gondor has never since regained the glory it had during the days of the line of Anárion.

  • It is said that the peaks of the White Mountains may be seen from anywhere one may stand in Gondor.
  • I long to see the Swan Knights of Dor-en-Ernil ride into battle.
  • Stay far from the pines of Tawar-in-Drúedain, Person. Strange Men live there who worship stone and leaf.
  • If the beacons of the White Tower should be lit, then we will know at last that our doom has come.
  • The old tomb-mound of Elendil is named Halifirien in the tongue of Rohan. But his casket was sent to the Silent Street of the Stone City, five hundred years ago.

  • Know now, Person, that we wish for no strangers in Gondor at this time.
  • Curse the Southrons, and their curved swords!
  • Our enemies are gathering beyond the Harnen.
  • They say the Men of Harad are well nigh all under the sway of the Enemy.
  • The havens of Umbar were once part of our realm, but they have long since fallen into the hands of the Haradrim.
  • There are ill rumours out of Harad. Men say the Southrons are massing all their strength in the lands beyond the Harnen.

Hostile

  • You may go no further. You will not enter Gondor!
  • Sons of Gondor! Hold your ground!
  • You may not enter Gondor, Person!
  • For Gondor!
  • You are an enemy of the throne of Gondor, Person!
  • Enemies have entered Gondor!
  • By the White Tree, I will see you slain!
  • I swear to Gondor that your death shall be swift!
  • Your death shall be swift, Person!

  • No pity for the foes of Gondor!
