(I know, but everything inside the building would be either flooded or rotting or plants overgrown. And Gandalf and Aragorn in the return of the king and took things out of it.)

As Tar-Veantur walked through the halls of Orthanc, he noticed the general disrepair. He never liked anything disorderly, and would soon have to fix this if this was to become his residence. Saruman whispered in his ear. He guided him to the throne room. To the room left of the throne, there was a door shape engraved into the wall. He attempted to open it, but to no avail. This door was carved into the wall. As he began to walk away, saruman whispered "Let me open it. Although I have a limited influence upon the physical world, I designed this door to be impervious to any disturbance. It contains the greatest treasure in Orthanc. " As he whispered words of power, the edge of the door began to glow. Soon, with a bright flash, there was a door. He opened the door, and there they were. Books, swords, armor, of elvish, dwarves and Numenorean make. What caugh his eye, however, was a book. It was written in High First Age Elvish. He read the words in the cover "The Book of the Wise, By High Lord King Turgon of Gondolin and other divers historians, artisans, smiths, and craftsmen". How did you come by this? He asked. "High King Turgon of Gondolin, in a dream by Ulmo, was commanded to make a book with all the lore of the First Age. Tuor, saving this book from the sack of Gondolim, passed it to Earendil when he came of age. Earendil passed it to Elrond. When I was a member of the White Council, I procured it from him. It is yours now." Said Saruman. As he leafed through the pages of the book, filled with ideas and inventions that could be used to conquer Middle Earth. He sat there for days soaking up knowledge, under the tutelage of Saruman. When he finished, his plans were made. He would now throw his hearth and soul into conquering Middle Earth.
