The Hidden Kingdom of Dol Amroth
The kingdom of Dol Amroth is never really described but it is south of Gondor but to the west near the coast it is protected by mountain ranges andthe fact that its back is to the sea.
Caves of Minas Tirith entrance
Imrahil and his Knights were quickly moving the convoy of womena and children along as they came through the cave and out through a bush into a small narrow slope full of trees leading down to the river which conected to Osgiliath further up. By the stream was a boat with two men waiting there one of them was Faramir. The women and children climbed aboard the massive beautiful ship as Imrahil ordered the men to destroy the entrance to the cave so no other could follow for this they had a special device which made the cave entrance crumble to the ground. Imrahil then left two of his bst scouts behind to warn of oncoming foes for these men would probably never return. The company set sail down the river which opened up into the river anduin and out to sea, Imrahil could see know many hosts of ships coming from the south for these were the mercenries heading for the docks of Gondor.
Imrahil: "Quickly know we must go past unseen, for stay close to the shore it will lead north toward my city."
He looked back and could see Minis Tirith in flames he sighed and looked to the ground as Faramir was leaning over the boat looking at his beautiful land for he would not see it again and to his father. Imrahil walked over to Faramir and thought about Aragorn and his step brother Denethor for surley they would be dead, he looked to his nephew and put his arm around him to comfort him.
Imrahil: "Do not worry Faramir we shall retake this land and free the peoples of Middle Earth from Saurons tinery"
Faramir was comforted by his uncles words and smiled he then sat resting looking at the women and children of Minas Tirith. One of the guards came over to Imrahil.
Knight: "Were almost here my lord"
Imrahil nodded and a few moments later they came in sight of a great mountain and many beautiful flowers and fields of green. The company disembarked the ship as they headed ashore.
Imrahil: "We cannot take the dock for it is hidden for we rarley use the docks for our foes would find this place we keep the ships under the mountain hidden."
The ship sailed under the mountain as the company walked through the fields towards a small wood area there they walked many miles through the woodland area until they came to a dark cave just like any other crack in a mountain but it was a secret way into Dol Amroth. Imrahil led the way with a torch for it was dark they assembled in the main area of the cave as two guards were placed outside.
Imrahil: "We shall rest in this cave for tonight for it is a very long way up through the mountain and out over Dol Amroth"
There the great company of women, children and men slept but restless for the enemys hand know grew as he looked over the land for the rest of the free peoples. Faramir lay there dreaming about his brother and his home a hand touched his shoulder and he sturred from his sleep he looked up and saw Imrahil standing there with two other men.
Imrahil: "Come Faramir I wish to show you somethin"
He led Faramir up through the cave to a small room which once looked to be an outpost for from this room there was a small type long gap which a bow arrow could fit through for this was an outpost which looked over the sea.
Imrahil: "This was once a outpost of Elendils people the Numenor it is said my great fathers and yours also Faramir kept watch for the coming of foe or enemy over the great sea for know man dare sail that far out to see"
Faramir was baffled for he loved his uncles storys of ancestory for a moment he was like a child again for Imrahil had a touch of people which no other had.
Faramir: "Shouldnt we get moving uncle"
Imrahil nodded and smiled to his newphew as they led the company on for many hours until at last they came to an opening which led out of the cave into a open field and the company could see in the distance a great gate of gold.
Imrahil: "The golden sea gate of Dol Amroth!"
Faramir looked in awe for this was by far the most beautiful piece of man made devices he had ever seen. Guards opened the gate as Imrahil saluted the m en as the company passed into a small courtyard were tall men clad in Imrahils armour were standing talking. Imrahil was talking to one of his commanders who immendiatly went with other men down the cave to keep look out.There was a second gate paved in white and resembled the Minis Tirith gate for this also opened as the golden gate closed and the women, children and men walked into the city of Dol Amroth. The city was similar to that of Minas Tirith but flat land all the houses were flat as were the inns and shops. People were walking around the streets, the city resembled much the old island of Numenor long ago.
Imrahil: "Welcome nephew to my kingdom come I will show to your quarters"
The company were shown rooms and the guards helped them and smiled as they did for these were good people. Imrahil led Faramir through his council hall which was white marble and a high king chair at the back for Imrahil to sit they walked past this chair and came to a room in the back.
Imrahil: "This is were you will stay Faramir, I shall return shortly rest, sleep, eat"
He smiled as he closed the door gently and Faramir put his gear and layed back on the bed for he dreamed about beautiful places that night for a figure came to him as he slept telling him of Aragorn and his fate.
