I still need to build slightly taller ones behind the current range and continue working on the caverns beneath Angband. Worked on the mountain range and got the first layer of mountains done. I also have to complete the caverns beneath the fortress and detail within the fortress rooms. Because they will be some distance away, it shouldn't be too hard to force their intimidation through exaggerated perspective, but I won't be sure until I try. Because of the height limit, it's very difficult create mountains that rival the size of the tower itself, although I'll continue attempting to get as close as possible. The mountain range I imagine in the background has given me the most trouble. These maps are not necessarily consistent with the published text of The Silmarillion and are most certainly NOT consistent with the published text (in any edition) of The Lord of the Rings. This particular one is roughly modeled afte r Barad-d ûr and Cirith Ungol after its corruption. ANSWER: There are two maps, both made prior to the writing of The Lord of the Rings, which show the approximate locations of Angband and Utumno. The four spires, the barren wasteland, the caverns, and the volcano in the background are some of the only tangible descriptions we get in the book, so I attempted to model this after other architecture of Middle-Earth. It was difficult to carefully read and replicate the minimal descriptions in the book, but it allowed me a bit of creativity. Since there are no official visual representations, this presented both a challenge and great opportunity. Here is an comparably accurate estimation of its location. In the master’s final words the distance is 450 miles or 150 leagues. The Location of Angband based on the later Silmarillion Text (1950+). This is my envisioning of the fortress Angband from the Silmarillion. The Location of Angband according to Tolkien’s 2nd Silmarillion map (1930’s).
