Weathertop

Weathertop, also known as the watch tower of Amon Sûl is a location in middle-earth that was the way that Aragorn and his allies used to get to Rivendell and the temporary hideout of Azog
== History ==
Weathertop was once a watchtower, but soon was abandoned.
Years after its former glory, Azog the Defiler lived at Weathertop for a while. When his second-in-command, Yazneg reappeared and foolishly reported his loss to Azog. The Defiler grew angered and threw the orc at his Wargs and joined the hunt himself to hunt down the dwarf king, Thorin Oakenshield.
Sixty years later, Aragorn and his hobbit companions, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin rest there for one night. Strider left the hobbits with weapons while scouting around. While Frodo slept he suddenly is awoken by the smell of fire and Merry, Pippin and Sam cooking food. Frodo put out the fire with his foot, but it was too late. The Nazgul had found them and attacked the four hobbit travellers. While there, the Witch-king stabbed Frodo there when the Hobbit refused to give them the Ring. However, the Hobbits were rescued by Aragorn, who had returned from his hunting. The hobbits later begged Aragorn to heal Frodo. However, it was beyond even Aragorn's healing skills, and claimed he needed Lord Elrond's elvish medicine to survive. 
A few months later, Pippin and Gandalf discussed the oncoming war. When the white wizard mentions the Witch king of Angmar, he explains to Pippin that the Witch king stabbed Frodo on Weathertop.
