Ithilien

Ithilien, also known as Moon-land, is a biome of Middle-Earth. It is the easternmost province of Gondor, and was once a fair land before it became infested with the filth of Mordor.

Location and Geography
Ithilien is located in southeast Middle-Earth, in the strip of land west of the river Anduin, between Gondor and the Mordor Mountains (Ephel Duath). The area resembles a Minecraft forest, containing dense vegetation and trees. The lebethron tree and asphodel flower are exclusive to this biome. Upon entering Ithilien, the player gains the achievement "Land of the Moon".

Sub-biomes include the Ithilien Hills, which as the name implies, features less trees and a more hilly landscape. Near the border of Mordor is the Ithilien Wasteland sub-biome, which most prominently shows the evil inflicted to this land. Most of the trees there are bare trunks and foul creatures spawn during the day.

Instead of stone, Ithilien, like Gondor, contains Gondor rock.

Structures
Occasionally, one will find Gondor ruins left over from when Ithilien was a prosperous region of Gondor. These include ruined tombs, ruined beacon towers, ruined Gondor obelisks, and ruined Gondor towers.

Inhabitants
Rangers of Ithilien spawn in this biome, valiantly defending the land from the evil creatures of Mordor. They are very similar to the rangers of the north, except that their capes depict the white tree of Gondor and that they use a Gondorian dagger for close range combat. They will attack evil aligned players.

During the night, Mordor orcs spawn here and will attack any good aligned players. In the Ithilien Wasteland sub-biome, orcs are also present during the day.
