Background
From the Tolkien Gateway:
The Tower of Cirith Ungol stood against the eastern mountain face of the Ephel Dúath on the mountain slope on the left side of the pass of Cirith Ungol.[note 1] It looked down on the trough between the Ephel Dúath and the Morgai and on the plateau of Gorgoroth beyond the Morgai. From the west only the round, topmost turret was visible. The turret was supported by three great tiers with pointed bastions that stood on a shelf in the mountain-wall far below and looked north-east and south-east into Mordor. The lowest tier was encircled by a thirty-foot high wall with overhanging battlements that enclosed a narrow paved courtyard. The main gate on the south-eastern side of the wall opened on to a broad road that ran along a precipice down to a southward bend and down to join the road that came over the Morgul Pass.
Outline
The Cirith Ungol project started as a redesign of my own plot from several years ago. When LimeeFox found my work, he believed it was worthy of being an official project.
I have completed much of the work on the plot, but there is still some important work to be done on both the large and small scale. Eventually, there are plans of this becoming an Empire War domination map.
Map
TBA
Plan
Currently, terrain is being managed by DragonLordPixal (and he is doing a terrific job!) There will be small detail terrain work to be done in the future, but nothing of the sort right now.
There is significant exterior and interior design work to be done. Most jobs will revolve around construction of wooden supports, scaffolds, and awnings. There will also be jobs for interior design of the kitchen, mess hall, prison, and various other inner rooms. Small, minor details, such as cracks and wear will be needed.
Other such things.
