This is the Siege of Gondor as described by J.R.R Tolkien himself. The battle of the Pelennor fields is a battle of utter importance to Middle-Earth in the Third Age; it shall decide its fate. Denethor, the Steward of Gondor have long foreseen an attack from Mordor and the Dark Lord Sauron. Gondor has been weakened through decades of war and suffering. When Aragorn, heir to the throne of Gondor reveals himself to Sauron, he sets in motion the war that the dark lord has long prepared. Sauron sends his next in command, the lieutenant of Morgul to capture Minas Tirith. Will Faramir hold the enemy at bay? Will the Rohirrim come to the rescue of Gondor? The Siege of Gondor will decide the fate of Middle-Earth!

This project took me 2 full months of work, which included learning how to create maps and animate simple animations. This was my first animated Middle-Earth siege battle, and I am very proud of the result; it is by far my most time-consuming project to date. I would highly appreciate it if you would show me your support through Patreon (check the link down below), as I am a student as well as working aside.

This project was heavily inspired by BazBattles (perhaps a bit too much I have been told). I created a much more unique style in the Battle of the Black Gate to differentiate myself even more. Anyways, check out their excellent content here:    / @bazbattles
