((What are the defenses of Tirith Aear like?))The alarm has already been set off. Dol Amroth has many, many defences set up from the old days. It wasn't be accident, after all, they survived hundreds of years of corisair raides leading up to The War of the Ring.) (Complicated. I'll fill you in on your wall or something, but this should due for now.)

The first defence is a massive structure known as the Sea-Gate. It's the size of Minas Tirith's first wall, and just as thick. It was built back in the Second Age, when Dol Amroth was a Numenorean colony. The imposing white stone, pulled into the place with remarkably little effort due to a complicated mechanism of gears and pullies, swings forward to shut out the harbour from the rest of the ocean, effectively cutting off the only enterence for the king's ships.

The wall is immediatly crawling with Dol Amroth soldiers, manning huge mounted balistas, and rows upon rows of archers armed with fire arrows.

When it comes to a land attack, Dol Amroth is practically indomitable. But from the sea, it is impregnable.
