This Moc has been created because I always wanted my own orthanc tower set but since the original lego set costs up to 400$ this days I decided to built my own playset that helpfully will cost less than that in pieces ( even considering it’s about 4200 pieces). The moc can be openen in half and it’s done pretty similar like the actual orthanc tower.
n J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy writings, Isengard is a large fortress in Nan Curunír, the Wizard’s Vale, in the western part of Middle-earth. In the fantasy world, the name of the fortress is described as a translation of Angrenost, a word in the elvish language, Sindarin, that Tolkien invented.
In The Lord of the Rings, Orthanc, a tower at the centre of Isengard, is the home of the Wizard Saruman. He had been ensnared by the Dark Lord Sauron through the tower’s palantír, a far-seeing crystal ball able to communicate with others like it. Saruman had bred Orcs in Isengard, in imitation of Sauron’s forces, to be ready for war with Rohan. The Orcs cut down many trees in the forest of the Ents, who retaliated by destroying Isengard while the army of Orcs was away attacking Rohan at Helm’s Deep. However, the Ents were unable to harm the tower of Orthanc. Saruman, isolated in the tower, was visited by some members of the Fellowship of the Ring; his staff was broken by the Wizard Gandalf.
