The Warden of the Keys was a high ranking official in the city of Minas Tirith in Gondor during the late Third Age.
Description[]
At the time of the War of the Ring the office was held by Húrin. The holder had the right to sit on the Council of Gondor and was apparently the second most senior official in the city, as following the death of Denethor II and during the recovery of Faramir in the Houses of Healing, Húrin ruled the city for a short time.
It is unknown if the office was military or civil in nature (or both), but presumably it held responsibility for the seven gates of Minas Tirith.
