The city of Minas Tirith remained the capital of Gondor for the rest of the Third Age and into years of the Fourth Age other major fortresses included Dol Amroth in Belfalas and Osgiliath, which was a city on the Anduin. Its first capital was Osgiliath, moved to Minas Tirith in TA 1640. 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.

The Dunedain mainly inhabited the cities of Fornost and the capital city of Annúminas, as well as along the Baranduin and the gulf of Lune. The Dunedain of Arnor dwelt in many places in Eriador, but most of the population centered around the region of Arthedain.
