LotR - CAIR ANDROS

My latest Illustration-Concept for The Dawnless Days.
The island itself was long and narrow, like a ship, a little over ten miles in length.[1] Its northern end of sharp rocks, like a "high prow" of a ship, split the waters of the upstream Anduin in a bubbling foam, and this gave the island its name.

The island was located to the east of the land of Anórien and about fifty miles[4] north of Minas Tirith.[1] Because of its location it was of strategic importance, and was one of the only practical means for an army to cross the river (the others were the bridge of Osgiliath and, until the formation of Rohan, the Undeeps). As such, the island housed Gondorian fortifications at various points in history.
