White Mountains

The White Mountains are populated with beacon towers, and lie between Rohan and Gondor. It is technically a sub-biome of Gondor.

Normal Gondor soldiers do not spawn in the White Mountains directly, but the Gondor beacon guards (the soldiers with the winged helmets) do spawn in pairs in the numerous beacon towers located in the mountains. At night, Mordor Orcs will spawn. The White Mountains are white because they are made of Gondor rock.

Upon entering this biome, one gains the achievement "Ered Nimrais."

Sub-biomes
White Mountains Foothills

Foothills of the lofty White Mountains. The White Mountains Foothills generate around the White Mountains, and contain more trees and men of Gondor. More Mordor Orcs seem to spawn here than in Gondor as well. The landscape is also includes more hills, and resembles the Ithilien Hills sub-biome. No beacon towers spawn here.

Structures
Only one structure spawns in the White Mountains.
 * Beacon Towers- Towers of Gondor brick that spawn in the White Mountains. They are solid, except for the opening at the top, which contains two beacon guards and a beacon of Gondor.

Mobs
No Gondor soldiers spawn here, except for the two beacon guards in every beacon tower, but at night Mordor Orcs spawn, which is strange, as every last Orc in the White Mountains was hunted down and killed by Folca, a king of Rohan.
 * Gondor Beacon Guards- These guards are soldiers of Gondor who guard the beacons of Gondor. They are just like normal Gondor soldiers or archers except they have winged helmets and an infinite supply of spears. They only spawn in the beacon towers.
 * Mordor Orc- Evil Orcs of Mordor, equipped with Orc Steel armor, and armed with (interchangably) Orc scimitars, spears, battleaxes, or warhammers.
 * Mordor Orc Archer- Mordor Orcs equipped with bows.
 * Mordor Orc Bombardier- Mordor Orcs with Orc Bombs. Very destructive, and when the bomb has been used, the bombardier will switch to using a dagger.

Mining
All the normal ores spawn here, but the White Mountains are also made of Gondor Rock, which spawns at the mountain tops and in patches below ground.

Vegetation
Mostly, the White Mountains biome is composed of stone and Gondor Rock. However, below a certain elevation, there are patches of grass, even trees. In this way, this biome is similar to the Blue Mountains.
