ROTK – The Battle Of the Pelennor Fields

ROTK – The Battle Of the Pelennor Fields

As darkness broke, Théoden led the Rohirrim onto the field. The black serpent he slew, but was brought low by a dart of the enemy.

Fear descended, but two knights of the King remained. One stood defiant: Éomund’s daughter. Courage awakened and a small halfling let fall a mighty stroke. Seeking death Éowyn found it, but did not die. So by a woman’s hand the Nazgûl fell.

When Éomer beheld his sister a fey mood took him, and the Rohirrim's song came even unto the city. Yet foresight proved true: out of despair came Hope, and the battle was won.
