Description
The Two Watchers were two carved figures that guarded the arched gateway through the outer wall that led to the courtyard of the Tower of Cirith Ungol. Description The Two Watchers were great two figures that were sitting on thrones on both sides of the gateway. Their figures were formed of three bodies with heads with the faces of vultures with eyes of black stone. One head looked outward, one head looked inward and the third head stared across the gateway itself. They were inhabited by “some dreadful spirit of evil vigilance”
The Two Watchers blocked Sams attempt to pass through the gate. However, he was able to overcome the will of the Two Watchers with the help of the Phial of Galadriel and was able to pass through the gate into the court of the Tower of Cirith Ungol. When he passed the gate, the Two Watchers uttered a high shrill cry, which was answered by a single clang of a bell high up in The Tower of Cirith Ungol.
