Help is on the way, your king will return!Ĭarn Dûm means 'Red Valley' in Sindarin, the 'Dûm' in the name is not the same as the 'Dum' in Khuzdul, the correct name is 'tûm', you can find it in certain Sindarin names such as 'Tumladen' in Gondolim in Beleriand (during the 1st Age). Good people of Gondor, defend your homeland with all your strength and courage. It is not a path I wish to traverse, but desperate times call for desperate measures… and if the forces of evil threaten the safety of my lands, and my people … I shall do what I must. We cannot hope to liberate Minas Tirith alone… the support of the remaining horse lords of Rohan will be crucial, and if the legends told by Lord Elrond are to be believed more help may be found deep within the Dwimorberg at Harrowdale. Halbarad will continue his efforts against Saruman and the corruption of Dunland, and will be joined by Gandalf when he is ready. I will leave Meuion as steward of Arnor and protector of our Northern border. It is through the mistake of my ancestor that Sauron survived through all these years… now only I can stop him. I must set out, with whatever force I can muster. My sword is still wet from the blood of Angmar, yet there is no time to rest.

With the defences at Minas Tirith destroyed, there is little that stops the forces of Mordor from pillaging their way through Gondor. We do not know where, when or how… but all that matters is that the greatest enemy of the free peoples of Middle-Earth has returned at full strength… the failure of Isildur, my ancestor is now complete.Ī meeting has been summoned at Rivendell by good lord Elrond, to discuss our next steps, but the time for discussion is long over.

The agents of evil must have recovered the one ring, and returned it to their wretched lord.

The White City has fallen, few survived and as more reports from our spies trickle in… our worst fear has become reality… the dark lord Sauron has returned and leads a large army of Orcs, easterlings and haradrim.
