  • (..) Isildur kept the Ring. The line of kings is broken. There's no strength left in the world of Men. -They're scattered,divided,leaderless. -There is one who could unite them. One who could reclaim the throne of Gondor. He turned from that path a long time ago. He has chosen exile. You are no Elf. (..)
