'Before he departed for Minas Tirith, Prince Imrahil charged me with the defence of the fiefs he left behind. I accepted this duty, knowing it might end in death, and left my son to protect my own lands. I engaged the Corsairs and Southrons at the city of Linhir, but we were heavily outnumbered and our defeat seemed certain.

'And then a new force joined the fray: a vast army of shadows from the forbidden paths under the mountains! They were Dead Men, and they brought death with them, silent and sure. My men cast aside their weapons and fled, but I stood my ground, and when I saw the banner of he who led them I was glad, for it was Aragorn, and he rode 'neath the standard of the King. 'Fearless' he called me, but what man can be afraid when a King has returned to a kingdom that needs him?

'I have four thousand men with me, and they will travel behind us. It will be slow going for them, so we will ride ahead and see what awaits them. Let us fight the Southrons in Upper Lebennin and clear the way for their swords! Then we will come to the vale of Tumladen and see the state of the war.'
