Passes
Guarded the mouth of Imlad Morgul and the entrance to Cirith Ungol, passes leading through Ephel Dúath into Mordor

Note
'Minas Morgul' was the name given to this city after its capture by the Nazgûl in III 2002; the city itself, though, was much older - as Minas Ithil, it had stood since the late Second Age, and was some 2,100 years old when it was renamed; for its origins and earlier history, refer to the entry for Minas Ithil
