Third Age Total War Gameplay - Assault at Cair Andros 3019TA Cair Andros was a large river-island in the Anduin River, to the east of the land of Anórien and about fifty miles north of Minas Tirith. The island itself was long and narrow, like a ship, a little over ten miles in length. At its northern end, its "prow" of sharp rocks split the waters of the upstream Anduin in a bubbling foam that gave the island its name. [The Sindarin name Cair Andros translates to "Ship of Long Foam". Cair means "ship", and means "long", and ros means (in this context at least) "foam".] In the First Age, as believed by historians in Gondor, the first men to cross the Anduin were the Drúedain. It was thought that the Drúedain came westward south of Mordor, turned north through Ithilien, and crossed the Great River at or near Cair Andros before eventually settling in the vales of the White Mountains. Upon the establishment of the realm of Gondor, the island grew in strategic importance: The only practical means for an army to cross the river were at the bridge at Osgiliath, Cair Andros, and the Undeeps. After the granting of Calenardhon to the Éothéod in T.A. 2510 (who created the realm of Rohan) only Cair Andros and Osgiliath remained as vulnerable crossing-points for the Gondorians. The Gondorians took Cair Andros' risk seriously. Amon Dîn, the first of the Beacon-hills, was set up originally to warn the citizens of Minas Tirith if Cair Andros was ever breached.As Cair Andros faced several attacks..it was fortified by gondor when each gondorian leader had the time and resources..as this was a vulnable weakness in the defence of the great river. Can Gondor hold the first blow of Sauron in his war on Gondor...a defence here will severally slow down his attack on minas tirith...or shall Saurons plans proceed apace Aftermath :The Gondorian defenses fell on 10 March, T.A. 3019. On the same day that the Witch-king rode from Minas Morgul with the armies that would besiege Minas Tirith, Sauron released a smaller force (though still numbering more than 6,000 Orcs and Men) from the Morannon. They overwhelmed the defenders of Cair Andros, and used the island to cross into Anórien. It was this northern force that blocked the eastward progress of the Rohirrim as they rode to Gondor's aid and led to the secret ride down Stonewain Valley. After the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, the Rohirrim chased them down and pushed them back out of Anórien. They retreated to Cair Andros, and apparently held the island for some days. On 23 March, in his march on Mordor, Aragorn let one thousand scared young men from Rohan and Lossarnach go from his main army to retake the island if necessary, and hold it.
