  • Amon lind was located on a ridge of the Misty Mountains on the western side. The location picked by Fëamírë to build the citadel was at a high elevation and on a protruding cliff. These characteristics combined to make it very defensible. The rock outcropping on which it was built was reinforced by Fëamírë before the structure was built and although the citadel appeared that it would fall off the edge of the world at any time, the construction was actually such that it would take a major upheaval in the mountains to dislodge it. The walls of Amon lind were 30' tall with large windows slanting outwards and upwards for the last 7'. These windows were hinged at the top and could be opened to allow for bowmen to shoot at attackers on the ground below. They were made of enchanted high glass that was unbreakable to normal forces. The walls themselves were made of white marble that was polished smooth.The only entrance to the citadel was the main gate which was reached by means of a causeway that spanned the rift in front of the structure.The causeway was fifteen feet across and also made of white marble.Throughout the castle were the pipes that gathered the wind from belowthe cliff. The pipes that were large enough to allow entrance from above or below were lined with spikes pointing in the opposite direction from which an intruder would be entering. These spikes were very sharp and anyone entering these pipes or even worse,falling into one, would suffer multiple wounds before coming to a stop.The overall layout of the castle would make the most agile person worry about falling, so Fëamírë with the help of Súlkano,made small amulets that were imbedded with fly spells that could beactivated by thought. Each person permanently residing in the citadel wore one of these (usually under their clothes). This would also help them in defending the castle as they would be able to take greater risks near the edges than their attackers without fear of falling. Visitors to the castle were also issued these items if it was determined by the residents that the visitors were friendly.
