Weird GONDOR Rules That Existed for Really Good Reasons

Why did the rulers of Gondor never sit on its throne? Why did soldiers guard a dead tree for a hundred and fifty years? Tonight we explore the strangest laws and customs of Gondor, and the very good reasons behind them: the Ban of the Valar, Faramir’s Standing Silence, the empty throne of the Stewards, a crown taken from a tomb, the Closed Door of the Silent Street, the healing hands of the king, the beacons and the Red Arrow, and a calendar that honours a hobbit. A calm, lore-accurate walk through the White City to help you drift off to sleep.
