Only
three
of
his
people
came
ever
back
over
the
mountains
after
long
wandering
;
and
of
these
one
was
Ohtar
his
esquire
,
to
whose
keeping
he
had
given
the
shards
of
the
sword
of
Elendil
.
Thus
Narsil
came
in
due
time
to
the
hand
of
Valandil
,
Isildur
’
s
heir
,
in
Imladris
;
but
the
blade
was
broken
and
its
light
was
extinguished
,
and
it
was
not
forged
anew
.
And
Master
Elrond
foretold
that
this
would
not
be
done
until
the
Ruling
Ring
should
be
found
again
and
Sauron
should
return
;
but
the
hope
of
Elves
and
Men
was
that
these
things
might
never
come
to
pass
.
Valandil
took
up
his
abode
in
Annuminas
,
but
his
folk
were
diminished
,
and
of
the
Numenoreans
and
of
the
Men
of
Eriador
there
remained
now
too
few
to
people
the
land
or
to
maintain
all
the
places
that
Elendil
had
built
;
in
Dagorlad
,
and
in
Mordor
,
and
upon
the
Gladden
Fields
many
had
fallen
.
And
it
came
to
pass
after
the
days
of
Earendur
,
the
seventh
king
that
followed
Valandil
,
that
the
Men
of
Westernesse
,
the
Dunedain
of
the
North
,
became
divided
into
petty
realms
and
lordships
,
and
their
foes
devoured
them
one
by
one
.
Ever
they
dwindled
with
the
years
,
until
their
glory
passed
,
leaving
only
green
mounds
in
the
grass
.
At
length
naught
was
left
of
them
but
a
strange
people
wandering
secretly
in
the
wild
,
and
other
men
knew
not
their
homes
nor
the
purpose
of
their
journeys
,
and
save
in
Imladris
,
in
the
house
of
Elrond
,
their
ancestry
was
forgotten
.
Yet
the
shards
of
the
sword
were
cherished
during
many
lives
of
Men
by
the
heirs
of
Isildur
;
and
their
line
,
from
father
to
son
,
remained
unbroken
.
In
the
south
the
realm
of
Gondor
endured
,
and
for
a
time
its
splendour
grew
,
until
it
recalled
the
wealth
and
majesty
of
Numenor
ere
it
fell
High
towers
the
people
of
Gondor
built
,
and
strong
places
,
and
havens
of
many
ships
;
and
the
Winged
Crown
of
the
Kings
of
Men
was
held
in
awe
by
people
of
many
lands
and
tongues
.
For
many
a
year
the
White
Tree
grew
before
the
King
’
s
house
in
Minas
Anor
,
the
seed
of
that
tree
which
Isildur
brought
out
of
the
deeps
of
the
sea
from
Numenor
;
and
the
seed
before
that
came
from
Avallone
,
and
before
that
from
Valinor
in
the
Day
before
days
when
the
world
was
young
.
Yet
at
the
last
,
in
the
wearing
of
the
swift
years
of
Middle
-
earth
,
Gondor
waned
,
and
the
line
of
Meneldil
son
of
Anarion
failed
.
For
the
blood
of
the
Numenoreans
became
much
mingled
with
that
of
other
men
,
and
their
power
and
wisdom
was
diminished
,
and
their
life
-
span
was
shortened
,
and
the
watch
upon
Mordor
slumbered
.
And
in
the
days
of
Telemnar
,
the
third
and
twentieth
of
the
line
of
Meneldil
,
a
plague
came
upon
dark
winds
out
of
the
east
,
and
it
smote
the
King
and
his
children
,
and
many
of
the
people
of
Gondor
perished
.
Then
the
forts
on
the
borders
of
Mordor
were
deserted
,
and
Minas
Ithil
was
emptied
of
its
people
;
and
evil
entered
again
into
the
Black
Land
secretly
,
and
the
ashes
of
Gorgoroth
were
stirred
as
by
a
cold
wind
,
for
dark
shapes
gathered
there
.
It
is
said
that
these
were
indeed
the
Ulairi
,
whom
Sauron
called
the
Nazgul
,
the
Nine
Ringwraiths
that
had
long
remained
hidden
,
but
returned
now
to
prepare
the
ways
of
their
Master
,
for
he
had
begun
to
grow
again
.
And
in
the
days
of
Earnil
they
made
their
first
stroke
,
and
they
came
by
night
out
of
Mordor
over
the
passes
of
the
Mountains
of
Shadow
,
and
took
Minas
Ithil
for
their
abode
;
and
they
made
it
a
place
of
such
dread
that
none
dared
to
look
upon
it
.
Thereafter
it
was
called
Minas
Morgul
,
the
Tower
of
Sorcery
;
and
Minas
Morgul
was
ever
at
war
with
Minas
Anor
in
the
west
.
Then
Osgiliath
,
which
in
the
waning
of
the
people
had
long
been
deserted
,
became
a
place
of
ruins
and
a
city
of
ghosts
.
But
Minas
Anor
endured
,
and
it
was
named
anew
Minas
Tirith
,
the
Tower
of
Guard
;
for
there
the
kings
caused
to
be
built
in
the
citadel
a
white
tower
,
very
tall
and
fair
,
and
its
eye
was
upon
many
lands
.
Proud
still
and
strong
was
that
city
,
and
in
it
the
White
Tree
still
flowered
for
a
while
before
the
house
of
the
Kings
;
and
there
the
remnant
of
the
Numenoreans
still
defended
the
passage
of
the
River
against
the
terrors
of
Minas
Morgul
and
against
all
the
enemies
of
the
West
,
Orcs
and
monsters
and
evil
Men
;
and
thus
the
lands
behind
them
,
west
of
Anduin
,
were
protected
from
war
and
destruction
.
Still
Minas
Tirith
endured
after
the
days
of
Earnur
,
son
of
Earnil
,
and
the
last
King
of
Gondor
.
He
it
was
that
rode
alone
to
the
gates
of
Minas
Morgul
to
meet
the
challenge
of
the
Morgul
-
lord
;
and
he
met
him
in
single
combat
,
but
he
was
betrayed
by
the
Nazgul
and
taken
alive
into
the
city
of
torment
,
and
no
living
man
saw
him
ever
again
.
Now
Earnur
left
no
heir
,
but
when
the
line
of
the
Kings
failed
the
Stewards
of
the
house
of
Mardil
the
Faithful
ruled
the
city
and
its
ever
-
shrinking
realm
;
and
the
Rohirrim
,
the
Horsemen
of
the
North
,
came
and
dwelt
in
the
green
land
of
Rohan
,
which
before
was
named
Calenardhon
and
was
a
part
of
the
kingdom
of
Condor
;
and
the
Rohirrim
aided
the
Lords
of
the
City
in
their
wars
.
And
northward
,
beyond
the
Falls
of
Rauros
and
the
Gates
of
Argonath
,
there
were
as
yet
other
defences
,
powers
more
ancient
of
which
Men
knew
little
,
against
whom
the
things
of
evil
did
not
dare
to
move
,
until
in
the
ripening
of
time
their
dark
lord
,
Sauron
,
should
come
forth
again
.
And
until
that
time
was
come
,
never
again
after
the
days
of
Earnil
did
the
Nazgul
dare
to
cross
the
River
or
to
come
forth
from
their
city
in
shape
visible
to
Men
.
In
all
the
days
of
the
Third
Age
,
after
the
fall
of
Gil
-
galad
,
Master
Elrond
abode
in
Imladris
,
and
he
gathered
there
many
Elves
,
and
other
folk
of
wisdom
and
power
from
among
all
the
kindreds
of
Middle
-
earth
,
and
he
preserved
through
many
lives
of
Men
the
memory
of
all
that
had
been
fair
;
and
the
house
of
Elrond
was
a
refuge
for
the
weary
and
the
oppressed
,
and
a
treasury
of
good
counsel
and
wise
lore
.
In
that
house
were
harboured
the
Heirs
of
Isildur
,
in
childhood
and
old
age
,
because
of
the
kinship
of
their
blood
with
Elrond
himself
,
and
because
he
knew
in
his
wisdom
that
one
should
come
of
their
line
to
whom
a
great
part
was
appointed
in
the
last
deeds
of
that
Age
.
And
until
that
time
came
the
shards
of
Elendil
’
s
sword
were
given
into
the
keeping
of
Elrond
,
when
the
days
of
the
Dunedain
darkened
and
they
became
a
wandering
people
.
