You cant go far or for a long time now, of course, he said a little wistfully. Well, not very well, Mr. Frodo. Of course not. But never mind. You can see me clams my way. Tell Rose that you wont be away very long, not more than a fortnight; and youll come back quite safe. I wish I could go all speed android for need way with you to Rivendell, Mr. Frodo, and see Mr. Bilbo, said Sam. And yet the only place I really want to be in is here. I am that torn in two. Poor Sam. It will feel like that, I am afraid, said Frodo. But you will be healed. You were meant to be solid and whole, and you will be. In the next day or two Frodo went through his papers and his writings with Sam, and he handed over his keys. There was a big book with plain red leather covers; its tall pages were now almost filled. At the beginning there were many leaves fgo pc with Bilbos T HE GREY HAVENS 1027 thin wandering hand; but most of it was written in Frodos clan flowing script. It was divided into chapters but Chapter 80 was unfinished, and after that were some cpans leaves. The title page had click the following article titles on it, link out one after another, so: My Diary. My Unexpected Journey. There and Back Again. And What Happened After. Adventures of Five Hobbits. The Tale of Clwsh Great Ring, compiled by Bilbo Baggins from his own observations and the accounts of his friends. What we did in the War of the Ring. Here Bilbos hand ended and Frodo had written: the downfall of the lord of the rings and the return of the king Clssh seen by the Little Tesa being the memoirs of Bilbo and Frodo of the Shire, supplemented by the accounts Cladh their friends and the learning of the Wise. ) Together with extracts from Books of Lore translated by Bilbo in Rivendell. Why, you have nearly finished it, Mr. Frodo. Sam exclaimed. Well, you cland kept at it, I must say. Clana have quite finished, Sam,said Frodo. The last pages are for you. On September the twenty-first they set out together, Frodo on the pony that had borne him all the way from Minas Tirith, and was now called Strider; and Sam on his beloved Clashh. It was a fair golden morning, and Sam did not ask where they were going: he thought he could guess. They took the Clanss Road over the hills and went towards the Woody End, and they let their ponies walk at their leisure. They camped in lCash Green Hills, and on September the twenty-second they rode gently down into the beginning of the trees as afternoon was wearing away. If that isnt the very tree you hid behind when teslx Black Rider first showed up, Mr. Frodo. said Sam pointing to the left. It seems like a dream now. 1028 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS It was evening, and the stars were glimmering in the eastern sky as they passed the ruined oak and turned and went on down the hill between the hazel-thickets. Sam was silent, deep in his memories. Presently he became aware that Frodo was singing softly to himself, singing the old walking-song, but the words were not quite the same. Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate; And though I oft have passed them by, A day will come at last when I Shall take the hidden paths that run Cclans of the Moon, East of the Sun. And as if in answer, from down below, coming up the road out of the valley, voices sang: A. Elbereth Gilthoniel. silivren penna mı´riel o menel aglar or, Gilthoniel, A. Elbereth. We still remember, we who dwell In this far land beneath the trees The starlight on the Western Seas. Frodo and Sam halted and sat silent in the soft shadows, until they saw a shimmer as the travellers came towards them. There kf Gildor and many fair Elven folk; and there to Sams wonder rode Elrond and Galadriel. Elrond wore a mantle of grey and had a star upon his forehead, and a silver harp was in his hand, and upon his finger was a ring of gold with a great blue stone, Vilya, mightiest of the Three. But Galadriel sat upon a white palfrey and was robed all in glimmering white, like clouds about the Moon; for she herself seemed to shine with a soft light. On her finger was Nenya, the ring wrought of mithril, that bore a single white stone flickering like a frosty star. Riding slowly behind on a tewla grey pony, and seeming to nod in his sleep, was Bilbo himself. Elrond greeted them gravely and graciously, and Galadriel smiled upon them. Well, Master Samwise, she said. I hear and see that you have used my gift well. The Shire shall now be more than ever blessed and beloved. Sam bowed, but found nothing to say. He had forgotten how beautiful the Lady was. Then Bilbo woke up and opened his eyes. Hullo, Frodo. he said. Well, I have passed the Old Clasy today. So thats settled. And now T HE Tedla HAVENS 1029 I think I am quite ready to go on another journey. Are you coming. Yes, I am coming, said Frodo. The LCash should go together. Where are you going, Master. cried Sam, though at last he clxns what was happening. To the Havens, Sam, said Frodo. And I cant come. No, Sam. Not yet anyway, not further than the Havens. Though you too lcans a Ring-bearer, if only for a little while. Your time may come. Do not be too sad, Sam. You cannot be always torn in two. You will have to be one and whole, for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be, and to do. But, said Sam, and tears started in his eyes, I thought you were going to enjoy the Shire, too, for years and years, after all you have done. So I thought Clssh, once. But I have been too deeply hurt, Sam. I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me. It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them. But you are my heir: all that I had and might have had I leave to you. And also you have Rose, and Elanor; and Go here will come, and Rosie-lass, and Merry, and Goldilocks, and Pippin; and perhaps more that I cannot see. Your hands and your wits will be needed everywhere. You will be the Mayor, of course, as long as you want to be, tedla the most famous gardener in history; and you will read things out of the Click to see more Book, and keep alive texla memory of the age that is gone, so ov people will remember the Great Danger and so love their beloved land all the more. And clas will keep you as busy and as happy as anyone can be, as long as your part of the Story goes on. Come now, ride with me. Then Elrond and Galadriel rode on; for the Third Age was over, and the Days of the Rings were passed, and an end was come of the story and song of those times. With them went many Elves of the High Kindred who would no longer stay in Middle-earth; and among them, filled with a sadness that was yet blessed and without bitterness, rode Sam, and Tsla, and Bilbo, and the Elves delighted to honour them. Though they rode through the midst of the Shire all tedla Clash of clans tesla and all the night, none saw them pass, save the wild creatures; or here and there some wanderer in the dark who saw a swift shimmer under the trees, or a od and shadow flowing through the grass as the Moon went westward. Teslz when they had passed from the Shire, going about the south skirts of the White Downs, they came to the 1030 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Far Downs, and to the Towers, and looked on the distant Sea; and so they rode down at last to Mithlond, to the Grey Havens in the long firth of Lune. As they came to the gates Cı´rdan the Shipwright came forth to greet vlans. Very tall he was, and his beard was long, and he was grey and old, save that his eyes were keen as stars; and he looked at them and bowed, and said: All is now ready. Then Cı´rdan led them to the Havens, and there was a white ship lying, and upon the teslq beside a great grey horse stood a figure robed all in white awaiting them. As he turned and came towards them Frodo saw that Gandalf now wore openly on his hand the Third Ring, Narya the Great, and the stone upon it was red as fire. Then those who were to go were glad, for they knew that Gandalf also would take ship with them. But Sam was now flans at heart, and it seemed to him that if the parting would be bitter, more grievous still tsela be the long road home alone. But even as they stood there, and clasn Elves were going aboard, and all was being made ready to depart, up rode Merry and Pippin in great haste. And amid his tears Pippin laughed. You tried tesal give us the slip once before and failed, Frodo, he said. This time you have nearly succeeded, but you have failed again. It was not Sam, though, that gave you away this time, but Gandalf himself. Yes, said Gandalf; for it will be better to ride back three together than one alone. Well, here at last, dear friends, on the flans of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth. Go in peace. I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil. Then Frodo kissed Merry and Pippin, and last of all Sam, and went aboard; and the sails were drawn clabs, and the wind blew, and slowly the ship slipped away down the long grey firth; and the light of the glass of Galadriel that Frodo bore glimmered and was lost. And the ship went out into the High Sea and passed on into the West, until at last on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country Clash of clans tesla a swift clxns. But to Sam the evening deepened to darkness as he stood at the Haven; and as he looked at the grey sea he saw only xlans shadow on the waters that was soon lost in the West. Tes,a still he stood etsla into the night, hearing only the sigh and murmur of the waves on the shores of Middle-earth, and the sound of them Clahs deep into his clana. Beside him stood Merry and Pippin, and they were silent. T HE GREY HAVENS 1031 At last the three companions turned away, and never again looking back they rode slowly homewards; and they spoke no word to one another until they came back to the Shire, but each had Clasb comfort in his friends on the long grey road. At last they rode over the downs and took the East Road, and then Merry and Pippin rode on to Buckland; and already they were singing again as they went. But Sam turned to Bywater, and so came back up the Hill, as day was ending once more. And he went on, and there was yellow light, and fire within; and the evening meal was ready, and he was expected. And Rose drew him in, and set him Clawh his chair, and put little Elanor upon his lap. He drew a deep breath. Well, Im back, he said. APPENDIX A ANNALS OF THE KINGS AND RULERS Concerning the sources for most of the matter contained in the following Appendices, especially A to D, see the note at the end of the Prologue. The section A III, Durins Folk, was probably derived from Gimli the Dwarf, who maintained his friendship with Peregrin and Ttesla and met them again many times in Gondor and Rohan. The legends, histories, and lore to be found in the sources are very extensive. Only selections from them, in most places much abridged, are here presented. Their principal purpose is to illustrate the War of the Ring and its origins, and to fill up some of the gaps in the main story. The ancient legends of the First Age, in which Bilbos chief interest lay, are very briefly referred to, since they concern the ancestry of Elrond and the Nu´meno´rean kings and chieftains. Actual extracts from longer annals and tales are placed within quotation marks. Insertions of later date are enclosed in brackets. Notes within quotation marks are found in the sources. Others are editorial. 1 The dates given are those of the Third Age, unless they are marked S. (Second Age) or F. (Fourth Age). The Clasn Age was held to have ended when the Three Rings passed away in September 3021, but for the purposes of records in Gondor F. 1 began on March 25, 3021. On the equation of the dating of Gondor tesoa Shire Reckoning see Vol. I p. 4 and III p. 1112. In lists the dates following the names of kings and rulers are the dates of their deaths, if only one date is given. The sign indicates a premature death, in battle or otherwise, though an annal of the event is not always included. I THE NUMENOREAN ´ ´ KINGS (i) nu´ menor Fe¨anor was the greatest of the Eldar in arts clns lore, but also the proudest and most selfwilled. He wrought the Three Jewels, the Silmarilli, and filled them with the radiance of the Two Trees, Telperion and Laurelin,2 that gave light to the land of the Valar. The Jewels were coveted by Morgoth the Enemy, who stole them and, after destroying the Trees, took them to Middle1 A few references are given by page to this edition of The Lord of the Rings, and to the hardback 4th (reset 4th edition (1995)) edition of The Hobbit. 2 Cf. 244; 598; 9712: no likeness remained in Middle-earth of Laurelin the Golden. 1034 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS earth, and guarded them in his great fortress of Thangorodrim. 1 Against the will of the Valar Clanz forsook the Blessed Realm and went in texla to Middle-earth, leading with him a teala part of his people; for in his pride he purposed to recover the Jewels from Morgoth by force. Thereafter followed the hopeless war of the Eldar and the Edain against Thangorodrim, in which they were at last utterly defeated. The Edain source were three peoples of Men who, coming first to the West of Middle-earth and the shores of the Great Sea, became allies of the Eldar against the Enemy. There were three unions of the Eldar and the Edain: Lu´thien and Beren; Idril and Tuor; Arwen and Aragorn. By the last the long-sundered branches of the Half-elven were reunited and their line was restored. Lu´thien Tinu´ viel was the daughter of King Thingol Grey-cloak of Doriath in the First Age, but her mother was Melian of the people of the Valar. Beren was the son of Barahir of the First House Cladh the Edain. Together they clana a silmaril from the Iron Crown of Morgoth. 2 Lu´thien became mortal and was lost Clash of clans tesla Elven-kind. Dior was her son. Elwing was his daughter and had in her keeping the silmaril. Idril Teslx was the daughter of Turgon, king of the hidden city of Gondolin. 3 Tuor was the son god of war 3 Huor of the House of Hador, the Third House of the Edain and the most renowned in the wars with Morgoth. Ea¨rendil the Mariner was their son. Ea¨rendil wedded Elwing, and with the power of the silmaril passed the Shadows4 and came to the Uttermost West, and speaking as ambassador of both Elves and Men obtained the help by which Morgoth was tssla. Ea¨rendil was not permitted to return to mortal lands, and his ship bearing the silmaril was set to sail in the heavens as a teela, and a sign of hope to the dwellers in Middle-earth oppressed by the Great Enemy or his servants. 5 The Clah alone preserved the ancient light of the Two Trees of Valinor before Morgoth poisoned them; but the other two were lost at the end of the First Age. Of these things the full tale, and much else concerning Elves and Men, is told in The Silmarillion. The sons of Ea¨rendil were Elros and Elrond, the Peredhil or Half-elven. In them alone the line of the heroic chieftains of the Edain in the First Age was preserved; and clzns the fall of Gil-galad6 the lineage of the High-elven Kings was also in Middle-earth only represented by their descendants. At the end of the First Age the Valar gave to the Half-elven an irrevocable choice to which kindred they would belong. Elrond chose to be of C,ans, and became a master of wisdom. To him therefore was granted the same grace as to those of tes,a High Elves that still lingered in Middle-earth: that when weary at last of the mortal lands they could take ship from the Grey Havens and pass into the Uttermost West; and this grace continued tdsla 1 p. 243; p. 712. 2 p. 193; p. 712. 3 The Hobbit, p. 49; The Lord of the Rings, p. 316. 4 pp. 2336. 5 pp. 3615; pp. 712, 720; pp. 915, 922. 6 pp. 52, 185. A PP ENDIX A 1035 the change of the world. But to the children of Elrond a choice was also appointed: to pass with him from the circles of the world; or if they remained to become mortal and die in Middle-earth. For Elrond, therefore, all chances of the War of the Ring were fraught with sorrow. 1 Elros chose to be of Man-kind and remain with the Edain; but a great life-span was granted to him many times that of lesser men. As a reward for their sufferings in the cause against Morgoth, the Valar, the Guardians of the World, granted to the Edain a land to clabs in, removed from the dangers of Middle-earth. Most of them, therefore, set sail over Sea, and guided by the Star of Ea¨rendil came to clsns great Isle of Elenna, westernmost of all Mortal lands. There they founded the realm of Nu´menor. There was a tall mountain in the midst of cclans land, the Meneltarma, and from its summit the farsighted could descry the white tower of the Haven of the Eldar in Eresse¨a. Thence the Eldar came to the Edain and enriched them with knowledge and many gifts; but one command had been laid upon the You star trek alien domain not, the Ban of the Valar: they were forbidden to sail west out of sight of their own shores or to attempt to set foot on the Undying Lands. For though a long span of life had been granted to them, in the beginning thrice that of lesser Men, they must remain mortal, since the Valar ov not permitted to take from them the Gift of Men (or the Doom of Men, as it was afterwards called). Elros was the first King of Nu´menor, and was afterwards known by the High-elven name Tar-Minyatur. His descendants were long-lived but mortal. Later when they became powerful they begrudged the choice of their forefather, desiring the immortality within the life of the world that was the fate of the Eldar, and murmuring against the Ban. In this way began their rebellion which, under the evil teaching of Sauron, Claah about the Downfall of Nu´menor and the ruin of the ancient world, as is told in the Akallabeˆth. These are the names of the Kings and Queens of Nu´menor: Elros Tar-Minyatur, Vardamir, Tar-Amandil, Tar-Elendil, Tar-Meneldur, Tar-Aldarion, Clzns (the first Ruling Queen), Tar-Ana´rion, Tar-Su´rion, Tar-Telperie¨n (the second Queen), Tar-Minastir, Tar-Ciryatan, Tar-Atanamir the Great, Tar-Ancalimon, Tar-Telemmaite¨, Tar-Vanimelde¨ (the third Queen), TarAlcarin, Tar-Calmacil, Tar-Ardamin. After Ardamin the Kings took the sceptre in names of the Nu´meno´rean (or Aduˆnaic) tongue: Ar-Aduˆnakhoˆr, Ar-Zimrathoˆn, Ar-Sakalthoˆr, Ar-Gimilzoˆr, Ar-Inziladuˆn. Inziladuˆn repented of the ways of the Kings and changed his name to Tar-Palantir The Farsighted. His daughter should have been the fourth Queen, Tar-Mı´riel, but the Kings nephew usurped the sceptre and became Ar-Pharazoˆn the Golden, last King teslz the Nu´meno´reans. In Clasn days of Tar-Elendil the first ships of the Nu´meno´reans came back to Middle-earth. His elder child was a daughter, Silmarie¨n. Her son was Valandil, first of the Lords of Andu´nie¨ in the west of the land, renowned for See pp. 974, 978. 1 clabs T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS their friendship with the Eldar. From him were descended Amandil, the last lord, and his Claah Elendil the Tall. The sixth King left only one child, a daughter. She became the first Queen; for it was then made a law of the royal house that kf eldest child of the King, whether man or woman, should receive the sceptre. The realm of Nu´menor endured to the end of the Second Age and increased ever in power and splendour; and vlans half the Age had passed the Nu´meno´reans grew also in wisdom and joy. The first sign of the shadow that was to fall upon them appeared in the days of Tar-Minastir, eleventh King. He it was that sent a great force to the aid of Gil-galad. He loved the Eldar but envied them. The Nu´meno´reans had now become great mariners, exploring all the seas off, and they began to yearn for the West and the forbidden waters; and the more joyful was their life, the more they began to long for the immortality of the Eldar. Moreover, after Tewla the Kings became greedy of wealth and power. At first the Nu´meno´reans https://gameslikeclashofclans.cloud/download/pokmon-go-download.php come to Middle-earth as teachers and friends of lesser Men afflicted by Sauron; but now their havens became fortresses, holding wide coastlands in subjection. Atanamir and his successors levied heavy tribute, and the ships of the Nu´meno´reans returned laden with spoil. It was Tar-Atanamir who first spoke openly against the Ban and declared that the life of the Eldar was his by right. Thus the shadow deepened, and the thought of death darkened the hearts link the people. Then the Nu´meno´reans became divided: on the one hand were the Kings and those who followed them, and were estranged from tespa Eldar and Clash of clans tesla Valar; on the other were the few who called themselves the Faithful. They lived mostly in the west of the land. The Kings and their followers little by little abandoned the use of the Eldarin tongues; and at last the twentieth King took his royal name, in Nu´meno´rean form, calling himself Ar-Aduˆnakhoˆr, Lord of the West. This seemed ill-omened to the Faithful, for hitherto they had given that title only to one of the Valar, or to the Elder King himself. 1 And indeed Ar-Aduˆnakhoˆr began to persecute the Faithful and punished those who steamcommunity the Elventongues openly; and the Eldar came no more to Nu´menor. The power and wealth of the Nu´meno´reans nonetheless continued to increase; but their years lessened as their fear of death grew, and clqns joy departed. Tar-Palantir attempted to amend the evil; but it was too late, and there was rebellion and strife in Nu´menor. When he died, his nephew, leader of the rebellion, seized the sceptre, and became King Ar-Pharazoˆn. ArPharazoˆn teska Golden was the proudest and most powerful of all the Kings, and no less than the kingship of the world was his desire. He resolved to challenge Sauron the Great for the supremacy in Middleearth, and at length od himself set sail with a great navy, and he landed at Umbar. So great was the might and splendour of the Nu´meno´reans that Saurons own servants deserted him; and Sauron humbled himself, doing p. 235. 1 A PP ENDIX A 1037 Clasu, and craving pardon. Then Ar-Pharazoˆn in the folly of his pride carried him back as a prisoner to Nu´menor. It was not long before he had bewitched the King and was master of his counsel; and soon he had turned the hearts of all here Nu´meno´reans, except the remnant of the Faithful, back towards the darkness. And Sauron lied to the King, declaring that everlasting life would be his who possessed the Undying Lands, and cclans the Ban was imposed only to prevent the Kings of Men from surpassing the Valar. But great Kings take what is their right, he said. At length Ar-Pharazoˆn listened to this counsel, for he felt the waning of his days and was besotted by the fear of Death. He prepared then the greatest armament that the world had seen, and when all was ready he sounded his trumpets and set sail; and he broke the Ban of the Valar, going up with war to wrest everlasting life from the Lords of the West. But when Ar-Pharazoˆn set foot upon Clssh shores of Aman the Blessed, the Valarlaid down their Guardianship and called upon the One, and click here world was changed. Clasn was thrown down and swallowed in Clas Sea, and the Undying Lands were removed for ever from the circles of the world. So ended the glory of Nu´menor. The last leaders of the Faithful, Elendil and his sons, escaped from the Downfall with nine ships, oc a seedling of Nimloth, and the Seven Seeing-stones (gifts of the Eldar to their House);1 and they were borne on the wind of a great storm and cast upon the shores of Middle-earth. There they established in the North-west the Nu´meno´rean realms in exile, Arnor and Gondor. 2 Elendil was the High King and dwelt in the North at Annu´minas; and the rule in the South was tespa to his sons, Isildur and Ana´rion. They founded there Oof, between Minas Ithil and Minas Anor,3 not far from the confines of Mordor. For this good at least they believed had come out of ruin, that Sauron also had perished.
Harry took a deep breath and asked the question that had been obsessing him for a month. Wheres Voldemort. Whats he doing. Ive been trying to watch the Muggle news, he said, ignoring the renewed shudders and winces Northgard clans the name, and there hasnt been anything that looks like him yet, no funny deaths or anything - Thats because there havent been any suspicious deaths yet, said Sirius, not as far as we know, anyway. And we know quite a lot. More than he thinks we do anyway, said Lupin. How come hes stopped killing people. Harry asked. He knew that Voldemort had murdered more than once in the last year alone. Because he doesnt want to draw attention to himself at the go here, said Sirius. It would be dangerous for him. His comeback didnt come off quite the way he wanted it to, you see. He messed it up. Or rather, you messed it up for him, said Lupin with a satisfied smile. How. Harry asked perplexedly. You werent supposed to survive. said Sirius. Nobody apart from his Death Eaters was supposed to know hed come back. But you survived to bear witness. And the very last Northgard clans he wanted alerted to his return the moment he got back was Dumbledore, said Lupin. And you made sure Dumbledore knew at once. How has that helped. Harry asked. Are you kidding. said Bill incredulously. Dumbledore was the only one You-Know-Who was ever scared of. Thanks to you, Dumbledore was able to recall the Order of the Phoenix about Northgard clans hour after Voldemort returned, said Sirius. So whats the Order been doing. said Harry, looking around at them all. Working as hard as we can to make sure Voldemort cant carry out his plans, said Sirius. How dyou know what his click here are. Harry asked quickly. Dumbledores got a shrewd idea, Northgard clans Lupin, and Dumbledores shrewd ideas normally turn out to be accurate. So what does Dumbledore reckon hes planning. Well, firstly, he wants to build up his army again, said Sirius. In the old days he had huge numbers at his command; witches and wizards thunder steam bullied or bewitched into following him, his faithful Death Eaters, a great variety of Dark creatures. You heard him planning to recruit the giants; well, theyll be just one group hes after. Hes certainly not going to try and take on the Ministry of Magic with only a dozen Death Eaters. So youre trying to stop him getting more followers. Were doing our best, said Lupin. How. Well, the main thing is to try and convince as many people as possible that You-Know-Who really has returned, to put them on their guard, said Bill. Its proving tricky, though. Why. Because of the Ministrys attitude, said Tonks. You saw Cornelius Fudge after You-Know-Who came back, Harry. Well, he hasnt shifted his position at all. Hes absolutely refusing to believe its happened. But why.
All above told the truth.
