Host of Minas Morgul



The Host of Minas Morgul, also known as the Legions of Morgul, is a massive army of Mordor. Having been hardened by years of war with Gondor, it was considered to be amongst the elite of Sauron's armies. The Host of Minas Morgul was under the command of Gothmog and Er-Mûrazôr, both who led the army to lay siege to Minas Tirith during the War of the Ring.

History
Several decades before the War of the Ring began, the Host of Minas Morgul was firstly established by Er-Mûrazôr, also known in Mordor as the "Witch-King of Angmar", after the city of Minas Ithil was taken and Mordor being claimed by the Dark Lord Sauron. Soldiers in the host were far more discipline than the standard rabble in Mordor.

According to Sauron's policy to find his One Ring and conquer Gondor, he sent the Lord of the Nazgûl to attack Osgiliath, marking the beginning of the War of the Ring.
