Beacons of Gondor serve as a sort of alarm system for the kingdom of Gondor. They are a new block that can be lit and used in sequence to send signals over long distances, or simply for decoration and dramatic effect. They are found naturally in Beacon Towers, Gondor Obelisks, and Gondor Watchforts, but can also be crafted using an inexpensive recipe on a Gondorian crafting table. On successfully lighting a beacon (albeit only by physically lighting it, not with a flaming arrow), the player earns the achievement "The Beacons are Lit!"
