Gondor was the most prominent kingdom of Men in Middle-earth, bordered by Rohan to the north, Harad to the south, the cape of Andrast and the Sea to the west, and Mordor to the east. Its first capital was Osgiliath, moved to Minas Tirith in TA 1640. The city of Minas Tirith remained the capital of Gondor for the rest of the Third Age and into the Fourth Age; other major fortresses included Dol Amroth in Belfalas and Osgiliath, which was a city on the Anduin.
Gondor was founded by the brothers Isildur and Anárion, exiles from Númenor. Gondor was an allied kingdom with Arnor, whose line of king chieftains came from Isildur, while the Line of the Kings of Gondor descended from Anárion. Gondor was at the height of its power in its early years due to the ships and the military might that its armies possessed. However, continued attacks by allies of Sauron, civil war, and a devastating plague caused it to gradually decline over the course of the Third Age until Sauron's final defeat and the crowning of Aragorn II Elessar. Following that time the power of Gondor once again expanded, and the former lands of Arnor were united with it under the banner of the Reunited Kingdom.

Gondor means 'Land of Stone', from Sindarin gond (stone) + (n)dor (land), most likely given to it because of the White Mountains (Ered Nimrais) and other mountain chains in the land (hypothetical Quenya name Ondonórë).

Get the Gondor mug.Also known as F.G.S. or Guido'ly Challenged. When one who is not of italian decent, and tries to act like a stereotypical guido. They have blowouts, go tanning, frolic at clubs to house music. Doing everything that a typical guido is known for doing but it just simply doesn't look right. Their tan looks aweful because of their skin tone (pale-looking red and lobster-like or dark complexion - not in need of getting a tan but still does it to live the guido lifestyle, maybe even sometimes looking orange.) They tend to work twice as hard on their blowouts than the average guido in order to make them look more guido-like and boast about how nice their hair is but in reality it simply does not look right. People tend to look down on those with F.G.S because that they are acting out as an italian stereotype without even being italian.

Get the False guido syndrome mug.A curry guido is basically an indian tool. The paki who wears "Ed Hardy/Affliction" clothes with stupid shiny earrings. They are usually found in packs. These are the tools that cover their curry scent with axe. These assholes attack completely and absolutely drunk girls at partys they are not invited to.
From an invited persons perspective:
"Dude I think Jessica is way to hammered, those creepy curry guidos have been staring at her the entire party.
From the perspective of the curry guidos:
"Abdul, that girl is hammered and cant even open her eyes, go get her."
