Barad-dûr, the Dark Lord's Tower
Barad-dûr is not just a fortress; she embodies the power and terror of Sauron. Erected with the power of the One Ring, it stands as a constant reminder of Sauron's dominion over Middle-earth. In the Lord of the Rings lore, the destruction of the Ring results in the collapse of Barad-dûr, symbolizing the end of the Age of Darkness and the beginning of an era of peace and rebirth.
The LEGO Icons Barad-dûr set is a perfect fusion of art, history and construction. It promises to capture the imagination of builders, inviting them to explore the depths of Mordor and relive the epic of The Lord of the Rings, one brick at a time. For fans around the world, the wait for the Dark Lord and his domain in 2024 will be filled with excitement, hoping for a detailed and sizable set!
