The Siege of Minas Morgul, also known as the Morgul Blockade, was the last great battle against the forces of the Dark Lord Sauron and the Kingdom of Gondor and its allies. The siege commenced shortly after the Battle of the Morannon when a minor detachment of the gondorian army lead by Steward Faramir marched from Minas Tirith to clear out the remains of the hosts of Mordor from the once great gondorian city of Minas Ithil.
