He captured Minas Ithil, but Isildur escaped and fled by ship to Arnor ; meanwhile, Anárion was able to defend Osgiliath.

Shortly afterwards, after a two year siege the Ringwraiths captured Minas Ithil and took it as their abode ; the city was renamed to Minas Morgul, the Tower of Sorcery and Minas Anor became Minas Tirith, the Tower of Guard against the evil in the east.

It was not densely populated, being distant from the capital and occasionally harassed by the Corsairs of Umbar ; the regiments sent to Minas Tirith during the War of the Ring consisted of " men of many sorts, hunters and herdsmen and men of little villages, scantly equipped save for the household of Golasgil their lord ".</ div >

; Lossarnach: A densely populated region of " flowering vales " just to the south of Minas Tirith, locked between the White Mountains and Anduin.

The fief was expected to have sent around two thousand warriors to Minas Tirith before the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, but because of the threat of the Corsairs of Umbar a far smaller number arrived ; these are described in the text as " well-armed and bearing great battle-axes ".

; Tumladen: The " vales of Tumladen and Lossarnach " appear in The Lord of the Rings as the target of the southward road from Minas Tirith, before it reaches Lebennin.

; Emyn Arnen: A mass of hills at the centre of Ithilien, standing opposite to Minas Tirith across Anduin and around which the river made a bend.

; Minas Anor ( Minas Tirith ): Originally a fortress built by Anárion at the eastern end of the White Mountains as a precaution from the hostile natives, later having become the summer residence of the Kings and finally the capital in 1640.

; Harlond: Quays on Anduin adjacent to Minas Tirith, built on the small space between the river and the southern parts of the Pelennor Wall ; the name translates as " south harbour ".

This combined references to several symbols of the realm: the White Tree was a unique plant brought by Isildur from Númenor, first planted in Minas Ithil and later three times replanted from seed at Minas Anor ; the Crown of Gondor was in the beginning Isildur's war-helmet and later the main symbol of monarchy in the South-kingdom, with wings of a sea-bird being an emblem of the exiled Númenóreans ; and the stars " originally represented the single stars on the banners of each of seven ships of nine in which Elendil and his sons sailed to Middle-earth that bore a palantír ".

The three greatest cities of the Land of Ond were introduced together with the sons of Elendil during the rewriting of " The Council of Elrond " chapter, and originally corresponded to each of them: Osgiliath to Ilmandur, Minas Anor to Anárion, Minas Ithil to Isildur ; after the rejection of Ilmandur, Osgiliath temporarily became Elendil's hometown, until the emergence of the final story.

Final changes in the geography were caused by the intensification of the scene of the Battle of the Pelennor Fields: the distance between Osgiliath and Minas Tirith was reduced by four times ; the northern regions became guarded by " Tol Varad ( the Defended Isle )", later renamed Men Falros " place of foam-spray " and then Cair Andros ;< ref > the inhabitants of the newly introduced Drúadan Forest enabled the Rohirrim to pass freely to Minas Tirith ; and the hills of Emyn Arnen ( originally Haramon " southern hill ") justified creating a bend in Anduin so that the revelation of Aragorn and his reinforcements occurred closer to the battlefield, at the quays of Harlond ( at first Lonnath-ernin " Arnen-havens ").

Sauron captured the palantír of Minas Ithil and used it to corrupt Saruman, who had the palantír of Orthanc ; and Denethor, who had the palantír of Minas Tirith.

This palantír was used by the Kings of Gondor, but when Minas Ithil fell to the Ringwraiths, Eärnil II stopped using it ; not only did Sauron now have access to the network, but the palantír of Anárion had the strongest link of all seven to the Ithil-stone.

The names of Elendil, Isildur, and Anárion refer, respectively, to the stars, the moon, and the sun ; likewise, these were commemorated in Osgiliath " the citadel of the stars "; in Ithilien and Minas Ithil " the tower of the moon "; and in Anórien and Minas Anor " the tower of the sun ".

* 1980-The Moria Dwarves awaken Durin's Bane, a Balrog, which kills Durin VI, king of Khazad-dûm ; the Nazgûl return to Mordor and lay siege to Minas Ithil.

As a result, the city became a foul, evil place, and it came to be called Minas Morgul, " The Tower of Dark Sorcery " in Sindarin ; the valley in which it stood likewise came to be known as Morgul Vale.

At the time of the War of the Ring, the Witch-king of Angmar and most of the Nazgûl dwelt in Minas Morgul ; two or three other Nazgûl occupied Dol Guldur in Mirkwood.

Ithilien was reoccupied by hardy folk during the Watchful Peace, but in 2475 the Watchful Peace was broken when Uruks from Mordor devastated the province ; and although they were driven back to the Morgul Vale by Boromir I, raids never entirely ceased after this time.

The form used in the Roman Rite included anointing of seven parts of the body while saying ( in Latin ): " Through this holy unction and His own most tender mercy may the Lord pardon thee whatever sins or faults thou hast committed deliquisti by sight hearing, smell, taste, touch, walking, carnal delectation ", the last phrase corresponding to the part of the body that was touched ; however, in the words of the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia, " the unction of the loins is generally, if not universally, omitted in English-speaking countries, and it is of course everywhere forbidden in case of women ".
