MerethrondThe Great Hall of Feasts![]() The Great Hall of Feasts within the Citadel on the highest tier of the city of Minas Tirith. It stood beside the tall White Tower on the northern side,1 so that it would be seen to the tower's right by one entering the Citadel through Minas Tirith's Seventh Gate. Merethrond must have been used by the Ruling Stewards to entertain their guests at least since the building of the Tower of Ecthelion in III 2698, and perhaps even back to the time of King Calimehtar, who built the first White Tower in the Citadel of Gondor. Nonetheless, our only specific record of the hall is in the days after the War of the Ring, when the new King Elessar held a feast there on 18 July III 3019, in preparation for his riding out for Edoras with the funeral procession of Théoden.
