Hill of Erech

The black Stone of Erech stood upon a hill in the north-west of Gondor, looking out upon the Ered Nimrais and the Vale of Morthond in the north and the Neck of Tarlang some forty miles to the south-east. The Hill of Erech had a mirky reputation, as the people who dwelt in the nearby lands said it was a meeting place for the Restless Dead, who whispered in the shadows of the Mountains.
