'''Gondor settlements''' are the largest structures in the land of [[Gondor]]. They can rarely be found throughout the biome, and generate similarly to vanilla villages, with varying structures. Generally, villages are more common than towns, and are significantly smaller. They are similar in structure to the [[Rohan Village|villages of Rohan]] in that they can have multiple different types of buildings.

They are excellent places for Gondorian players to visit, owing to their plentiful loot and generally lots of opportunities for [[Mini-Quest|quests]]. They are also a great location for Gondorian players to call home, as there's lots of buildings to fill with chests and traders.
Each Gondorian settlement has a name, and a [[w:c:lotr:Calendar|date]] that it was founded, which is sometime in the [[w:c:lotr:Third Age|Third Age (T.A.)]]. They are the first settlements in the mod to receive names, though not the first structures to be named.

== Types of settlements ==

=== Ordinary Village ===
[[File:Lebenninvillagetopdown.png|thumb|left|300px]]
Regular Gondorian villages have roads shaped like a giant cross with a ring around it. In the center of each village lies a [[#Gondor Well|well]]. Around the well, 0-4 [[#Gondor Market Stall|market stalls]] will spawn, with various [[Gondor Traders|traders]]. Around the village center, 1-4 structures can spawn, ranging from [[#Gondor Cottage|cottages]] to [[#Gondor Tavern|taverns]]. Further out, some [[#Gondor Village Garden|gardens]] and [[#Gondor Village Farm|farms]] can be found. Around the ring of road are random [[#Gondor Cottage|cottages]], [[#Gondor Smithy|smithies]], or [[#Gondor Stable|stables]].
{{clr}}
=== Fortification ===
[[File:Fortvillagetopdown.png|thumb|left|300px]]
Fort-villages are more militaristic settlements. They are [[#Gondor Wall|walled]] 
and have eight [[#Gondor Watchtower|watchtowers]] surrounding them, as well as four [[#Gondor Village Gate|gates]] with small roads leading into the center. In the center, instead of a [[#Gondor Well|well]], there is a [[#Gondor Fortress|fortress]], unless if it is in [[Dor-en-Ernil]], which it is replaced by a [[Dol Amroth Stable|stable]]. The main entrance is marked by two paths branching out of the door to the front of the fortress/stable, which leads to two [[#Gondor Well|wells]], one on each side. The other three paths have [[#Gondor Townhouse|townhouses]], [[#Gondor Stable|stables]], and [[#Gondor Smithy|smithies]]. If the structure spawns in [[Dor-en-Ernil]], though, [[#Gondor Stable|stables]] will not spawn, as the central building is a stable already. Inside the Gondorian fortress is a [[#Gondor Market Stall|blacksmith stall]] with a crafting table, armour stand with respective fiefdom armour, and a [[Lebethron Casket|lebethron casket]]. There are also barracks in the fortress. These villages can be excellent bases for Gondorian players, as they are well protected by a wall, and have a unit hiring captain along with two blacksmiths.
{{clr}}
=== Walled Town ===
[[File:Walledtowntopdown.png|thumb|left|300px]]
Walled towns are indisputably the biggest Gondorian settlement and the second biggest structure in the Mod. They have a [[#Gondor Watchtower|watchtower]] at each corner and a [[#Gondor Gatehouse|gatehouse]] at the front. On the way into the town, there are some [[#Gondor Town Bench|benches]] and [[#Gondor Town Garden|gardens]]. In the center, there is a central [[#Gondor Well|well]], although there are plenty of [[#Gondor Well|wells]] around the town. Around the central [[#Gondor Well|well]] are up to nine [[#Gondor Market Stall|market stalls]], composed of one of the many [[Gondor Traders|traders]] in the Mod. Around the central [[#Gondor Well|well]] is a [[#Gondor Bathhouse|bathhouse]], as well as a [[#Gondor Smithy|smithy]], and a chance of a [[#Gondor Tavern|tavern]]. Around the huge town are many other [[#Gondor Townhouse|townhouses]] and planters, as well as other [[#Gondor Tavern|taverns]], along with some [[#Gondor Obelisk|obelisks]]. The amount of loot in each of these towns is, to say the least, plentiful, as every structure in the town (except for the [[#Gondor Bathhouse|bathhouse]]) has a chest with some form of loot inside it. These towns are also extremely profitable, as there normally are plenty of [[Gondor Traders|traders]] to sell many items to. And for evil players looking for loot and alignment, this is sure to satisfy for quite some time!
{{clr}}

== Fiefdom variants ==
For each of the following Gondorian fiefdoms, variants are created. These distinguish from the main Gondorian 'vanilla' variants in their use of the [[banners]] of the respective fiefdoms, and of representative types of [[Gondor Brick|Gondor brick]], structure supporting pillars and coloured [[Clay Tiles|clay tiles]]. This is in-line with the variants used for [[Gondor_Watchfort#Fiefdom_variants|Gondor watchforts]]. Typical, distinguishable features for the fiefdom settlement variants are:
* [[Blackroot Vale]] - Use of [[Gondor Cobblebrick|Gondor cobblebrick]] and [[Númenórean Brick|Númenoran bricks]].
* [[Lamedon]] - Use of [[Gondor Cobblebrick|Gondor cobblebrick]], {{VanillaLink|cobblestone}} and [[Pillars#Non_Faction-specific_pillars|stone pillars]] where others use wooden [[beams]].
* [[Lebennin]] - Use of {{VanillaLink|Stone_Brick|stone brick}} where others use wooden [[beams]].
* [[Lossarnach]] - Use of [[Gondor Cobblebrick|Gondor cobblebrick]] and a wide variety of wooden [[Beams|beam]] types.
* [[Pelargir]] - Use of [[White_Sand#White_Sandstone|white sandstone]] and [[Gondor_Brick|black Gondor brick]].
* [[Pinnath Gelin]] - Use of [[Gondor Cobblebrick|Gondor cobblebrick]] and [[Clay Tiles|green tiling]].
* [[Dol Amroth]] - Use of [[Dol Amroth Brick|Dol Amroth brick]] and [[Clay Tiles|blue tiling]].
Mentioned typicals can be recognised in many settlement structures, most notably in watchtowers and fortresses.

==Structures==
The following structures may all be part of a Gondor settlement:
*[[#Gondor Market Stall|Baker's stall]]
*[[#Gondor Barn|Barn]]
*[[#Gondor Bathhouse|Bathhouse]]
*[[#Gondor Market Stall|Blacksmith's stall]]

*[[#Gondor Watchtower|Watchtower]]
*[[#Gondor Wall|Wall]] 
*[[#Gondor Well|Well]] 

Besides of those structures above, normal Gondor landscape features may accidentally spawn inside the settlements as well. Those are not described here. They may sometimes hinder, certain features to be included in the settlement:
* [[Boulder]]s
* [[Tree]]s
* [[#Gondor Watchtower|Watchtowers]] (normally not in unwalled settlements)
* [[Small Stone Ruins|Small stone ruins]]
* etc.

'''Gondor townhouses''' are owned by wealthier Gondorians. If you are interrested in [[Lore Texts|Middle-earth lore]], this is the right place to come, as those Gondorians are quite educated, and a lot of [[Lore Texts|lore books]] can be found within their chests.

The houses are made almost entirely of brick, with a roof colour dependant of the fiefdom they are built in. In front of the door, there is a wooden porch. Inside, there is a fireplace with two furnaces on the left side, along with two [[vessel]]s containing {{c|drinks}} and a kitchen with a {{CT}}.

On the right, there is a staircase leading to the upper floor, under which there's a chest and a {{CT|Gondorian}}. The upper floor contains two beds with rings atop them, a small table, and two chests. Torches and chandeliers provide light. 

Rarely, a [[Lebethron Casket|lebethron casket]] may be found under the carpet on the first floor, with more valuable loots, such as gold or silver.

'''Gondor taverns''' are large settlement structures usually found towards the center of a settlement. They are made largely of wood, with areas of Gondor rock and brick, and have a thatched roof. 

Inside, there are many Gondorian civilians and a [[Gondor Traders#Gondor Bartender|bartender]] with whom you can [[Trading|trade]] with provided you have the required money and alignment. The ground floor is a pub area providing food and drink. The bartender stores private posessions in a chest behind the counter.

[[File:Preview PB29 - Gondorian Tavern 1.png|300px|thumb|none|The first floor of a Gondorian tavern.]]

On the upper floor you'll find several bedrooms. All the chests within are empty. To get some sleep is rather difficult there, because the taverns are quite populated and the clapping of the doors will keep you awake all night.

'''Gondor stables''' are made of a mix of Gondor brick and wood, with a straw roof. Up front, there are two stalls, each containing a pre-tamed [[horse]], along with some haybales. In the back, there is a furnace and sink on one wall, along with some random decorations. Two crafting tables, a normal and a Gondorian one, can be found on the inner wall. Upstairs there is a bedroom, containing some more haybales in which a hidden chest may sometimes be found, a bed, another chest, and a [[barrel]].

In [[Dor-en-Ernil]] exists a [[Dol Amroth Stable|bigger stable]], which can be found in the wild, or as the center of [[#Fortification|fortifications]].

'''Gondor barns''' are structures found in the regular village variant. They are made largely of wood, with a high, arched thatch roof and a small attic. They look quite similar to [[Hobbit Farm|Hobbit Farms]]. Out to the side is a small walled farm occupied by several [[Gondor Farmhand|farmhands]].

Inside, on the ground floor, there are several haybales piled up, and three regular crafting tables support beams holding up the upper floor. Some [[Farm Animals|farm animals]] live there. A stair leads up.

The second floor has more haybale piles, in which there might be buried a treasure chest.
Also, two crafting tables, a normal and a Gondorian one, another chest, a [[Straw Bed|straw bed]], and a table with food and drink are included. This is the home of a [[Gondor Traders#Gondor Farmer|farmer]] from which players with sufficient [[alignment]] and money may hire farmhands or buy goods from.

The '''Gondor smithy''' is a structure found in [[Gondor]] and is home to a [[Gondor Traders#Gondor Blacksmith|blacksmith]]. The floor is made of [[Gondor Rock|Gondor rock]] and [[Gondor Brick|brick]]. On the right (as you go in) there are three anvils and a double chest. In the near left corner, there is a [[Gondorian Crafting Table|Gondorian crafting table]] and a regular crafting table. In the far right corner, there is a small 'forge' area filled with lava and surrounded by four furnaces.

The [[Gondor Traders#Gondor Blacksmith|blacksmith]], who lives here, will defend himself if attacked but is prepared to trade with the player as long as they have at least +50 [[alignment]] with [[Gondor]] and plenty of [[Silver Coin|coins]].

For a long time, the double chest in the smithy was always empty. As of {{update|26}}, however, various pieces of [[Gondorian Equipment|equipment]] and [[Gondorian Armour|armour]] may spawn in there, along with [[Iron Ingot|iron ingots]] and coal.

Since {{Update|29}}, the smithy is no longer generated in the wild, but only as part of a settlement.

'''Gondor fortresses''' are fortified structures that generate as the central keep in fort-villages. They consist largely of black and white [[Gondor Brick|Gondor brick]], and contain a variety of supplies, such as armour and equipment, as well as food and drink. There are four towers on each corner of the structure, with a fenced wall connecting them. On the front of the fort there is a Gondorian gate with a pair of [[banner]]s on either side. Within the walled area there are several small shelters and a pillar topped with a 
[[Beacon of Gondor|beacon]], along with four more [[banner]]s. The fortress is heavily guarded by Gondorian soldiers. For more information read the [[Gondor Fortress|main article]].

The '''walls''' protect the Gondorian settlements, except for the rural villages. They are made of black and white [[Gondor Brick|brick]] and run all around the houses. Embedded in the walls are [[#Gondor Gate|gates]], 
[[#Gondor Gatehouse|gatehouses]] and [[#Gondor Watchtower|watchtowers]].

Walls look quite different for fort-villages and towns:
* Fort-village walls are five blocks high and two blocks thick. They are white with black vertical stripes. The top is made of black brick walls with a lot of [[torch]]es on them. The [[#Gondor Fortress|fortress]] itself has a second wall, which makes the inside quite secure.
* Town walls are six blocks high and two blocks thick. They have got a black stripe at the upper part and are crowned by white crenellations.

Water, caves etc. may cause gaps in the walls. Bricks offer quite a high tier of protection. The walls help to keep enemies out and citizens in at night.

In contrary to the bigger [[#Gondor Gatehouse|gatehouses]], those simpler '''Gondor fortification gates''' are only included in the outer wall of fort-villages. They have got four of them, one at each side, to allow easy acces to the settlement. They consist largely of Gondor brick and a quite big Gondorian [[gate]]. On the inside two ladders lead up to the [[#Gondor Wall|wall]].

Unfortunately, there is no sign at the entrance, which denotes the name and the founding year of the settlement. So, the weary wanderers live in doubt, if they've reached their desired destination. They may ask the [[Gondorian Captain|captain]] in the [[#Gondor Fortress|fortress]] for it.

'''Gondor gatehouses''' mark the entrances to walled Gondorian towns. They are much more complicated than [[#Gondor Village Gate|village gates]], and each town has only got one of those.

They consist largely of Gondor brick. Inside the central tower are a pair of levers that operate two gates: an outer Gondorian [[gate]], and an inner iron portcullis, above which are a pair of [[banner]]s. The top balcony of the tower is accessible via a pair of ladders. Several [[Gondor Levyman|Gondor levymen]] guard the tower.

Outside the gatehouse, a sign greets the weary wanderer, denoting the name and the founding year of the settlement. The year is shown in {{VanillaLink

'''Gondor watchtowers''' form the corners to walled Gondorian towns and are part of the city wall. They consist largely of Gondor brick. Some [[Gondor Levyman|levymen]] and [[Gondor Soldier|soldiers]] guard the building. Unfortunately, the inside of the tower is not directly connected to the top of the city wall. Inside the tower, ladders connect the different floors

The first floor is barracks for the [[Gondor Levyman|levymen]]. It contains six [[Straw Bed|strawbeds]] and six normal chests.

The second floor contains some food and drink, two crafting tables, an anvil, an armour stand, item frames with weapons and a [[Lebethron Casket|lebethron casket]].

The top floor just holds the battlements and a pillar topped by a Gondorian [[banner]]. It is illuminated by some torches.

==Finding settlements==
Because of the large amount of loot contained within a typical settlement, and especially a fort-village or a town, Gondorian settlements are sought after by many players. While villages can, theoretically, spawn anywhere within Gondor, they require a large amount of relatively flat land in order to spawn, and towns require even more flat land to spawn than villages. As a result, settlements are most often found in the standard or steppe [[Biome Variants|biome variants]], and rarely in the forests, hills, or mountains.
