Meela has just left Hobbiton.

Dol Amroth is another significant city of Gondor. Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth came to Minas Tirith's aid at the Battle Of Pelennor.

Is Erech a city as well? I'm sure I saw it on the map. I was reading Return of the King just earlier... it listed the sites of the beacons, and I'm sure some of those were cities.

I don't know how many are great fortresses. Osgiliath and Minas Tirith appear to be the greatest fortresses. I don't know that much about Dol Amroth.

I'm looking at a map right now. I can see Erech, Edhellond, and Pelargir.

The King Of Gondor resides in the Citadel, in the seventh and uppermost ring of Minas Tirith. I assume the Steward lives nearby.

Found this:

'Gondor's territories included Anfalas, Belfalas and Lebennin (on the coast) and further inland, Lamedon, Tolfalas, Calenardhon, Anorien, Lossarnach and of course, Ithilien. Gondor had five cities of the first rank. Pelagir upon the Anduin and Dol Amroth; a great ancient citadel in Belfalas. Three other great cities were situated in central Gondor and were situated on the plains between Mordor and the White Mountains. In the East was Minas Ithil, 'Tower of the Moon', in the West Minas Anor, 'Tower of the Sun' and the capital of Gondor was Osgiliath, 'Citadel of the Stars.' It was built across the Anduin and joined by a stone bridge. During the WR Boromir had defended Osgiliath till his departure to Rivendell and Minas Ithil was taken by the enemy in 2002 and renamed Minas Morgul.'

Hope I've helped in some way [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
