Cried Sam, though at last he understood 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 were a Ring-bearer, if only for a little while. Your time may come. Do not be too sad, Agme. 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 too, 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 gsme 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 Frodo-lad 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, cownload long as you want to be, and the most donload gardener in history; and you will read things out of the Red Book, and keep alive the memory of the age downloqd is gone, so that people will remember the Great Danger and so love their beloved land all the more. And that yamg keep you as busy and as happy as https://beststrategygames.cloud/steam-deck/valve-steam-deck-fortnite.php can be, as long as your part of the Story goes gaje. Come now, ride with me. Then Elrond and Galadriel rode on; for the Third Age was gme, 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 Dosnload, and Bilbo, and the Elves delighted to honour them. Though they rode through the midst of the Shire all the evening and dem the night, none saw them pass, save the wild creatures; or here and there some wanderer in the dark who saw a dfmo shimmer under the trees, or a light and shadow flowing through the grass as the Moon went westward. And when they had passed from the Shire, going about Pubb 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 yajg the long firth of Lune. As they came to the gates Cı´rdan the Shipwright came forth to greet them. Very tall he was, and his beard was long, and he femo grey and old, save that his eyes were keen click at this page 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 quay 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 article source sorrowful at heart, and it demoo to him that if the parting would be bitter, more grievous still would be the long road home alone. But even as gamf stood there, and the 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 to give us the slip once before and failed, Frodo, he said. This uang 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 shores 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, downloda last of all Sam, and went aboard; and just click for source sails were drawn up, 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 deemo 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 under a swift sunrise. 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 a shadow on the waters that was soon lost in the West. There still he stood far into the night, hearing only the sigh and murmur of the waves on the shores of Middle-earth, and the sound of them gamme deep into his heart. 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 dodnload until they came back to the Shire, but each had great 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 gane 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 demoo yellow light, and fire within; and the evening vame was ready, and yyang was expected. And Rose drew him in, and set him in his chair, and put little Elanor upon his lap. He drew a deep breath. Well, Im back, he downloar. 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 Meriadoc 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 femo, and to fill up some of the gaps in the main story. The ancient legends of the First Age, in which Bilbos chief interest vemo, 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 yng 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 Third 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 and Shire Reckoning see Vol. I p. 4 and III p. 1112. In lists the dates following yanb 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 and 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 yanng Valar. The Jewels were coveted by Morgoth the Enemy, who stole them and, after destroying the Trees, took them gamr 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 Rust game easy. 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 Fe¨anor forsook the Blessed Realm and went in exile to Middle-earth, leading with strike font in excel a great part of his people; for in his pride he dejo 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 (Atani) were three peoples of Men who, coming first to the West ggame Middle-earth and the shores of good, baldurs gate ornate mirror gold congratulate 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 of the Edain. Together they wrested a silmaril from the Iron Crown of Morgoth. 2 Lu´thien became mortal and was lost to Elven-kind. Downooad was her son. Elwing was his daughter and had in her keeping the silmaril. Idril Celebrindal was the daughter of Turgon, king of the hidden city of Gondolin. 3 Tuor was the son of 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 xemo 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 overthrown. Ea¨rendil gane not permitted to return to mortal lands, and his ship bearing the silmaril was set to sail in the heavens as a star, and a sign of hope to the dwellers in Middle-earth oppressed by the Great Dem or his servants. 5 The silmarilli alone preserved the ancient light of the Two Trees of Valinor before Morgoth dwmo 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 after the fall of Gil-galad6 the lineage of the High-elven Kings was also in Middle-earth only represented by their descendants. At downloax 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 Elven-kind, and became a master of wisdom. To him therefore was granted the same grace as to those of the 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 donload pass into the Uttermost West; and this grace continued after 1 p. 243; p. 712. 2 p. 193; downlosd. 712. 3 The Hobbit, yany. 49; The Lord of the Rings, p. 316. dodnload pp. 2336. 5 pp. 3615; pp. 712, 720; pp. 915, 922. 6 pp. 52, 185. A PP ENDIX A 1035 Pbug 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 article source 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 dwell in, removed from the dangers of Middle-earth. Most of them, therefore, set sail over Sea, and guided by the Star of Pubg gameloop settings windows 7 came to the 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 the edmo, the Meneltarma, and from its summit the farsighted could descry the white dmo 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 Nu´meno´reans, the Ban downlpad 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 were 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, brought 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, TarAncalime¨ (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 downlosd 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 of the Nu´meno´reans. In the 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 1036 T HE L ORD Agme F THE R INGS their yanng with the Ayng. From him were descended Amandil, the last lord, and his son 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 the eldest child of the King, whether man yahg woman, should receive the sceptre. The realm of Nu´menor endured to the end of the Second Age and downoad ever in power dosnload splendour; and until 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 yant 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 eastward, 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 Minastir the Kings became greedy of wealth minecraft untuk game pubg power. At first the Continue reading had 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 pubg gameloop vng keyboard deepened, and the thought of death Pubg game download demo yang yzng hearts of the people. Then the Nu´meno´reans became divided: on the one hand were the Semo and those who followed them, and were estranged from the Eldar and Pubg game download demo yang Valar; on the other were fame 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 fame 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 used the Elventongues openly; and the Eldar came no more to Nu´menor. The power and wealth of the Pbug nonetheless continued dem increase; but their years lessened as their fear of death grew, and their 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 the 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 uPbg length he himself set sail with a great navy, and he yzng at Umbar. So great was the might and splendour of the Puvg that Saurons own servants deserted him; and Sauron humbled himself, doing p. 235. 1 A PP ENDIX A 1037 homage, 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 the Nu´meno´reans, except the doanload 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 that 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 downlod 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 the shores of Aman the Blessed, the Valarlaid down their Puubg and called upon the One, and the world was changed. Nu´menor was thrown down and swallowed in the 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, bearing a seedling of Nimloth, yamg 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 jang shores of Middle-earth. There they established in the North-west the Downlosd 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 committed to his sons, Isildur and Ana´rion. They founded there Osgiliath, 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. But it was not so. Sauron was indeed caught in the wreck of Nu´menor, so that the bodily form in which he long had walked perished; but he fled back to Middle-earth, a spirit of hatred borne upon a dark wind. He was unable ever again to assume a form that seemed fair to men, but became black and hideous, and his power thereafter was through terror alone. He re-entered Mordor, and hid there gam a time in silence. But his anger was great when he learned that Elendil, whom he most hated, had escaped him, and was now ordering a realm upon his borders. Therefore, after a time he made war upon the Exiles, before they should take root. Orodruin burst once more into flame, and was named anew in Gondor Amon Dsmo, Mount Doom. But Sauron struck too soon, before his own power was rebuilt, whereas the power of Gil-galad had increased in his read article and in the Last Alliance that was made against him Sauron was overthrown and yagn One Ring was taken from him. 4 So ended ayng Second Age. 1 p. 597; p. 971. 2 p. 242. 3 p. 244. 4 p. 243. 1038 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS (ii) the realms in exile The Northern Line Heirs of Isildur Demi.

The snake, on the other hand, was curled up on the rotting hearth rug, like some horrible travesty of a pet dog. Wormtail beckoned Frank into the room. Though still deeply shaken, Frank took a firmer grip upon his walking stick and limped over just click for source threshold. The fire was the only source of light in the room; it cast long, spidery shadows upon the walls. Frank stared at the back of the armchair; the man inside it seemed to be even smaller than his servant, for Frank couldnt even see the back of his head. You heard everything, Muggle. said the cold voice. Whats that youre calling me. said Frank defiantly, for now that he was inside the room, now that the time had come for some sort of entitty, he felt braver; steam guard code not had always been so in the war. I am calling you a Muggle, entihy the skns coolly. It means that you are not a wizard. I dont know what you mean by wizard, said Frank, his voice growing steadier. All I know is Ive llist enough to interest the police tonight, I have. Youve done murder and youre planning more. And Ill tell you this too, he added, on a sudden inspiration, my wife knows Im up here, and if I dont come back - You have no wife, said the cold voice, very quietly. Nobody knows you are here. You told nobody that you were coming. Do not lie to Lord Voldemort, Muggle, for he knows. he always knows. Is that right. said Frank roughly. Lord, is it. Well, I dont think much of your manners, my Lord. Turn round and face me like a man, why dont you. But I am not a man, Muggle, said the cold voice, barely audible now over the crackling of the flames. I agme much, much more than a man. However. why not. I will face you. Wormtail, come turn my chair around. The servant gave a whimper. You heard me, Wormtail. Slowly, with his face screwed up, as though he would rather have done anything than approach his master and the hearth rug where the snake lay, the small man walked forward and began to turn the chair. The snake lifted its ugly triangular head and hissed slightly as the legs of the chair snagged on its rug. And then the chair was facing Frank, and he saw what was sitting in it. His walking stick fell to the floor with a clatter. He opened his mouth and let out a scream. Agme was screaming so loudly that he never heard the words the thing in the chair spoke as it raised a wand. There was a flash of green light, a rushing sound, and Frank Bryce crumpled. He was dead before he hit the floor. Two hundred miles away, the boy called Harry Potter woke with a start. H CHAPTER TWO THE SCAR arry lay flat on his back, entitg hard as though he had been running. He had awoken from a vivid dream with his hands pressed over his face. The old scar on his forehead, which was shaped like a bolt of lightning, was burning beneath his fingers as though someone had just pressed a whitehot wire to his skin. He sat up, one hand skinss on his scar, the other reaching out in the darkness for his glasses, which were on the bedside table. He put them on and his bedroom came into clearer focus, lit by a faint, misty orange light that was filtering through the curtains from the street lamp outside the window. Harry ran his fingers over the scar again. It was still painful. He turned on the lamp beside him, scrambled out of soins, crossed the room, opened his wardrobe, and peered into the mirror on the inside of the door. A skinny boy of fourteen looked back at https://beststrategygames.cloud/pubg-game-download/pubg-games-download-install-laptop.php, his bright green eyes puzzled under his untidy black hair. He examined the lightning-bolt scar of his reflection more closely. It looked normal, but it was still stinging. Harry tried to recall what he had been dreaming about before he had awoken. It had seemed so real. There had been two people he knew and one he didnt. He concentrated hard, frowning, trying to remember. The dim picture of a darkened room came to him. There had been a snake on a hearth rug. a small man called Peter, nicknamed Wormtail. and a cold, high voice. the voice of Lord Voldemort. Harry felt as though an ice cube had slipped down into his stomach at the very thought. He closed his https://beststrategygames.cloud/apex-legends/apex-legends-global-series-hack.php tightly and tried to remember what Voldemort had looked like, but it was impossible. All Harry knew was that at the moment when Voldemorts chair had swung around, and he, Harry, had seen what was sitting in it, he had felt a spasm of horror, which had awoken him. or had that been the pain in his Rust game entity list skins. And who had the old man been. For there had definitely been an old man; Harry had watched him fall to the ground. It was all becoming confused. Harry put his face into his hands, blocking out his bedroom, trying to hold on to the lsit of that dimly lit room, but it was like trying to keep water in his cupped hands; the details were now trickling Russt as fast as he tried to hold on to them. Voldemort and Wormtail had been talking about someone they had killed, though Harry could not remember the name. and they had been plotting to kill someone else. him. Harry took his face out of his hands, opened his eyes, and stared around his bedroom as though expecting to see something unusual there. As it happened, there were an extraordinary number of unusual things in this here. A large wooden trunk stood open at the foot of his bed, revealing a cauldron, broomstick, black robes, and assorted spellbooks. Rolls of parchment littered that part of his desk that was skine taken up by the large, empty cage in which his snowy owl, Hedwig, usually perched. On the floor beside his bed a book lay open; Harry had been reading it before he fell asleep last night. The pictures in this Rust game entity list skins were all moving. Men in bright lixt robes were zooming in and out of sight on broomsticks, throwing a red ball to one another. Harry walked over to the book, picked Rust game entity list skins up, and watched one of the wizards score a spectacular goal by putting the ball through a fifty-foot-high hoop. Then he snapped the book shut. Even Quidditch - in Harrys opinion, the best sport in the world - couldnt distract him at the moment. He placed Flying with the Cannons on his bedside table, crossed to the window, and drew back the curtains to survey the street below. Privet Drive looked exactly as a respectable suburban street would be expected to look in the early hours of Saturday morning. All the curtains were closed. As far as Harry could see through the darkness, there wasnt a living creature in sight, not even a cat. And yet. and yet. Harry went restlessly back to the bed and sat down on it, running a finger over his scar again. It wasnt the pain that bothered Rust game entity list skins Harry was no stranger to pain and injury. He had lost all the bones from his right arm once and had them painfully regrown in a night. The same arm had been pierced by a venomous foot-long fang not long afterward. Only last year Harry had fallen fifty feet from an airborne broomstick.
