Isengard:
Another fortress in Rohan, built by the Númenoreans, Isengard
was extremely defendable, and the key to the defense of Rohan,
as was discovered in the time of Helm Hammerhand, much to their
dismay. It was always part of Gondor, even when Eorl was given
the land surrounding it. Isengard was given to Saruman in the year
2759 of the Third Age, by the Steward Beren. Isengard was at least
partially destroyed by the Ents in the year 3018 of the Third Age.
In the language of Rohan, Isengard was Angrenost.

Ithilien:
Ithilien was once a beautiful area of Gondor, often called the
Garden of Gondor, though it was eventually abandoned after the
taking of Minas Ithil. Ithilien was located between Minas Ithil
and the Anduin. Even in the years of the War of the Ring, the
hobbits could see the remaining beauty of Ithilien, though it
was no longer tended and had fallen into ruin. After the War
of the Ring, Ithilien was given to Faramir, by the King Elessar.
