Gandalf frodo keep your secrets dnd11/17/2023 'I remember many years ago when Mithrandir would come to Rivendell to celebrate momentous events with us, and often his fireworks would be central to the evening festivities. Fortunately, I happen to know a Wizard who is far wiser than any of us - particularly when it comes to matters of fire. I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an Elf.'It would seem that there are indeed some limits to the ingenuity of dwarves, Master Eywind. Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The Ring must be destroyed.Īnd I suppose you think your the one to do it?Īnd if we fail, what then? What happens when Sauron takes back what is his? Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is a barren wasteland riddled with fire, ash, and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It's Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. It must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came. The Ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. The Ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Gloin, by any craft that we here possess. Gondor has no King, Gondor needs no King. It has no other master.Īnd what would a Ranger know of this matter? By the blood of our people are your lands kept safe. Why not use this ring? Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor, kept the forces of Mordor at bay. Isildur's Bane is found." Isildur's Bane.īoromir! Never before has anyone dared utter words of that tongue in Imladris. A voice was crying, "Your doom is near at hand. In a dream, I saw the Eastern sky grow dark, while in the West a pale light lingered. Each race is bound to this fate, this one doom. Middle- earth stands upon the brink of destruction. Strangers from distant lands, friends of old you 've been summoned here to answer the threat of Mordor. He turned from that path a long time ago. One who could reclaim the throne of Gondor. There's no strength left in the world of Men. It should have ended that day, but evil was allowed to endure. I led Isildur deep into the fires of Mount Doom, the one place it could be destroyed. I was there the day the strength of Men failed. The Blood of Numenor is all but spent, its pride and dignity forgotten. It is in Men that we must place our hope. They care nothing for the troubles of others. Who will you look to when we've gone? The Dwarves? They toil away in caverns, seeking riches. The time of the Elves is over, my people are leaving these shores. This evil belongs to all of Middle-Earth. We do not have the strength to withstand both Mordor and Isengard. This evil cannot be concealed by the power of the Elves. An army that can move in sunlight and cover a great distance at speed. He's breeding an army in the caverns of Isengard. By foul craft, Saruman has crossed Orcs with goblin men. And Saruman, you tell me, has betrayed us. Sauron's forces are massing in the east, his eye is fixed on Rivendell. It is a burden he should never have had to bear. He will carry it the rest of his life.Īnd yet, to have come so far, still bearing the Ring, the hobbit has shown extraordinary resilience to its evil.
