'We defended Linhir valiantly but the constant watch left us tired. Like brothers often do, we fall to quarreling. I was convinced by Aragorn's word that defending Linhir would be the best use of our skills. Erchar disagreed and convinced Herion that staying in Linhir was a fool's errand. He wanted to take the enemy by surprise. In an instant of protest, both Erchar and Herion took their forces into the field.
