"All was dark about it, earth and sky, but it was lit with light. Not the light welling through the marble walls of long ago (...). Paler indeed than the moon ailing in some slow eclipse was the light of it now, wavering and blowing like a noisome exhalation of decay, a corpse-light, a light that illuminated nothing."
—The Two Towers
Inspired by Tolkien's lore, this is MiniWorld3D's interpretation of the Fortress of Black Sorcery, a translation of the Sindarin "Minas Morgul".
This used to be a beautiful citadel that glowed white in the moonlight, but decayed and was transformed into a beacon of evil and dread after dark forces conquered it, and its minions and wraith chieftains made it their base.
We have given it our own spin with creative license, and of course, optimization for 3D printing, so all the details print easily without supports or brims! The top of the tower can turn, to recreate one of the mythical features of this fortress.
Included in your download are a stand base to conceal a light source of your choice. See the Printing Details below for more information.
