I may well have the roles of Orthanc and Isengard mixed up, as far as which one is just the tower and which one is the surrounding area goes; it's been a while, and I'm going from memory here. -- John Owens 05:52 Apr 10, 2003 (UTC)

For some reason, the "r" in "Gondor" in the last sentence of the 5th paragraph isn't showing up. Might be because of the picture. --Quadalpha 21:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Isengard

Battle of Isengard redirects here. Thats a problem because theres no battle box or anything. I think battle of isengard could potentially deserve an article of its own. It was an important part of the war of the ring. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 21:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

What are the two first spoken syllables of "Isengard"? "Ease-en", "Ice-en" or "Eyes-en"? --213.39.156.17 09:22, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

"Eyes-en". i.e.: "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard, to Isengard, to Isengard..." --I'm Kinda Awesome... 19:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

And what of the proper pronunciation according to Tolkien? What language is this name in? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.84.170.52 (talk) 20:44, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] deletion

this subject is notable. it's a very important place of a notable book, notable film, has a significance on tolkien's legendarium (orthanc was built by men from númenor, then isengard was built by gondor, then saruman took it.. it's very difficult to go from north of middle earth to south without being close to orthanc, etc), etc.

it's just doesn't have a very good article. i think it doesn't explain why the subject is notable because the author found it obvious. (okay, this isn't obvious for someone not familiar with tolkien). --189.12.159.40 15:53, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
