The Voice of Conscience

What do you want, Gandalf Greyhame? Let me guess. The Key of Orthanc. Or perhaps the Keys of Barad-dûr itself along with the crowns of the seven kings and the rods of the Five Wizards!

Reunion at Isengard

Merry: “It`s good. Definitely from the Shire. Longbottom Leaf.”

Pippin: “I feel like I`m back at The Green Dragon.”

Merry: “Mmm. Green Dragon.”

Pippin: “A mug of ale in my hand. Putting my feet up on a settle after a hard day`s work.”

Merry: “Only, you`ve never done a hard day`s work.”

Frodo and Sam on their way to Cirith Ungol, rest in a small cavernous space. Sam sleeps soundly while Frodo remains awake and alert. It isn`t the fear of the place that is keeping him up. It is the Ring around his neck.

Gladden Fields

The third and final part of the Lord of the Ring trilogy opens, as always, with a beautiful Howard Shore composition. The Fellowship of the Ring and the Two Towers both opened with a mellow musical introduction that swelled gradually to accompany the action scenes. In the Return of the King, however, the music never reaches such heights, for the scene is somewhat different.

Into the Unknown

Sauron`s wrath will be terrible, his retribution swift. The battle for Helm`s Deep is over. The battle for Middle-Earth is about to begin. All our hopes now lie with two little Hobbits somewhere in the Wilderness.

Revelations – Part Three

While Sam is reintegrating hope into their journey with his speech, Faramir stands close by hearing his every word. After his near-death experience under the tip of the Sting, Sam is startled by Faramir`s presence. Since the Men appear to be a threat to them as their captors, it is only understandable Sam would react in this way. However, as he is about to discover, his speech did not only affect his little company.

Revelations – Part Two

It`s me. It`s your Sam. Don`t you know your Sam?

Osgiliath Revelations

Osgiliath burns! Mordor has come.
Man of Gondor

A devastating sight. The enemy has reached Gondor. Darkness descends on the world of Men.

The Last March of the Ents

Professor Tolkien gave the Ents explicit voices, thoughts and a language of their own. It is an exaggerated representation of what occurs in nature. The trees may not walk and talk, as they do in Tolkien`s writings, but they communicate in their own way nevertheless. Just because we can`t see it, does not mean it doesn`t exist.

Entmoot

We Ents have not troubled about the wars of Men and Wizards for a very long time. But now, something is about to happen that has not happened for an Age. Entmoot.
