==Lore==
The city was founded by Isildur and Anárion near the end of the Second Age. Ruling Gondor jointly, they used Osgiliath as their capital. Osgiliath soon became a large and flourishing city. In SA 3429, Sauron attacked Gondor. The Gondorians defended the city succesfully and remained the greatest city in Gondor.
When the civil war of the Kin-Strife broke out the city was hit hard. In TA 1437, the city was being besieged from hostile forces. During the fighting, fire broke out and large parts of the city was destroyed. Later the city was hit with the Great Plague in TA 1636.
In TA 2000, the city was under threat from the Nazgûl. By this time the city was mostly deserted and it became a no man's land between the forces. In TA 3018, a detachment of Sauron's forces took the east side of the city. This lead to the stationary Gondorian soldiers were forced to retreat. Under this time the bridge between these two sides were destroyed, leaving no way to easily move forces over the river between the city.
