FORTRESS OF THE
WHITE HAND
Isengard Essentials:
Isengard was left without a master for many years, until the Wizard Saruman convinced the Steward of Gondor to grant him residence within its walls. The king of Rohan welcomed this decision, for his realm had just barely endured a desperate war with Dunland and he saw in Saruman a powerful ally. Though initially Saruman comported himself merely as a lieutenant in the service of Gondor, he soon became a power in his own right and, before long, threw off any pretence at subservience.
"You do not know pain, you do not know fear. You will taste man-flesh!"
- Saruman the White.
