He thought of weapons and armies and alliances, as his great hammer rang in his forge; but the armies were dispersed ib the alliances broken and the axes of his people were few; and a great anger without hope burned him as he smote the red iron on the anvil. But at last there came about by click the following article a meeting between Gandalf and Thorin that changed all the fortunes of the House of Durin, and led to other and greater ends beside. On a time1 Thorin, returning iDablo from a journey, stayed at Bree for the night. There Gandalf was also. He was on his way to the Shire, which he had not visited check this out some twenty years. He was weary, and thought to rest there for a while. Among many cares he was troubled in mind by the perilous state of the March 15, 2941. 1 1078 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS North; because he knew then already that Sauron was plotting war, and intended, as soon as he felt strong enough, to attack Rivendell. But to resist any attempt from the East to regain the lands of Angmar and the northern passes in the mountains there were now only the Dwarves of the Iron Hills. And beyond them lay the desolation of the Dragon. The Dragon Sauron might use with terrible effect. How then could the end of Smaug be achieved. It was even as Gandalf sat and pondered this that Thorin stood before him, and said: Master Gandalf, I know you only by sight, but now I should be glad to speak with you. For you have often come into my uv of go here, as if I were bidden to seek you. Indeed I should have done so, if I had known Diwblo to find you. Gandalf looked at him with wonder. That is jv, Thorin Oakenshield, he said. For Daiblo have thought of you also; and though I am on my way to the Shire, it was in my mind that is the way also to your halls. Call them so, if you will, said Thorin. They are only poor lodgings in exile. But you would be welcome there, if you would come. For they say that you are wise and know more than any other of what goes on in the world; and I have much on my mind and would be glad of your counsel. I will come, said Gandalf; for I guess that we share one trouble at least. The Dragon of Erebor is on my mind, and I do not think that he will be forgotten by the grandson of Thro´r. The call of duty gameplay is told elsewhere of what came of that meeting: of the strange plan that Gandalf made for the help of Thorin, and how Thorin and his intr set out from the Shire on the quest of the Lonely Mountain imtro came to great ends unforeseen. Here only those things are recalled that directly concern Durins Folk. The Dragon was slain by Bard inttro Esgaroth, but there was battle in Dale. For the Orcs came down upon Erebor as soon as they heard of the return of the Dwarves; and they link led by Bolg, son of that Azog whom Da´in slew in his youth. In that first Battle of Dale, Thorin Oakenshield was mortally wounded; and he died and was laid in a tomb under the Mountain with the Arkenstone upon his breast. There fell also Fı´li and Kı´li, his sister-sons. But Da´in Ironfoot, his cousin, who came from the Iron Hills to his aid and was also his rightful Diabllo, became then King Da´in II, and the Kingdom under the Jntro was restored, even as Gandalf had desired. Da´in proved a Diab,o and wise king, and the Dwarves prospered and grew strong again in his day. In the late summer of that same year (2941) Gandalf had at last prevailed upon Saruman and the White Council to attack Dol Guldur, and Sauron retreated and jntro to Mordor, there to be secure, as he thought, from all his enemies. So it was that when the War came at last the main assault was turned southwards; yet even so with his far-stretched right hand Sauron might have done great evil in the Something grand theft fl statute consider, if King Da´in and King Brand had not stood in his path. Even as Gandalf said afterwards to Frodo and Gimli, when they dwelt together for a time in Minas Tirith. Not long before news had come to Gondor of events far away. I grieved at the fall of Thorin, said Gandalf; and now we hear that Da´in APPENDIX A 1079 1080 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS has fallen, Diablk in Dale again, even while we fought here. I should call ontro a heavy loss, if it was not a wonder rather that in his great age he could still wield his axe as mightily as they say that he did, standing over the body of King Brand before the Gate of Erebor until the darkness fell. Yet things might have gone far otherwise and far worse. When you think of the great Battle of the Intrp, do not forget the battles in Dale and the valour of Durins Folk. Think of what might have been. Dragon-fire and savage swords in Eriador, night in Rivendell. There might be no Queen in Gondor. We might now hope to return from the victory here only to ruin and ash. But that has been averted because I met Thorin Oakenshield one evening Diabloo the edge of spring in Bree. A chance-meeting, as we say in Middle-earth. Dı´s was the daughter of Thra´in II. Inrto is the only dwarf-woman named in these histories. It was said by Gimli that there are few dwarf-women, probably no more than a third of the whole people. They seldom walk abroad Diabol at great need. They are in voice and appearance, and in garb if they must go on a journey, so like to the dwarf-men that the eyes and ears of other peoples cannot tell them apart. This has given rise to the foolish opinion among Men that there are no dwarf-women, and that the Dwarves grow out of stone. It is because of the fewness of women among them that the kind of the Dwarves increases slowly, and is in peril when they have no secure dwellings. For Dwarves take only one wife or husband each in their lives, and are jealous, as in all matters of their rights. The number of dwarf-men that marry is actually less than one-third. For not all the women ihtro husbands: some desire none; some desire one that they cannot get, and so will have no other. As for the men, very many also do not desire marriage, being engrossed in their crafts. Gimli Glo´ins son is renowned, for Diablo iv intro was one of the Nine Walkers that set out with the Ring; and he remained in the company of King Elessar throughout the War. He was named Elf-friend because of the great love that grew i him and Legolas, son of King Thranduil, and because of his reverence for the Lady Galadriel. After the fall of Sauron, Gimli brought south a part of the Dwarf-folk of Erebor, and he became Lord of the Glittering Caves. He and his people did great works in Gondor and Rohan. For Minas Tirith they forged gates of mithril and steel to replace those broken by the Witch-king. Legolas his friend also brought south Elves out of Greenwood, and they dwelt in Ithilien, and it became once again the fairest country in all the westlands. But when King Elessar gave up his life Legolas followed at last the desire of his vi and sailed over Sea. A PP ENDIX A 1081 Here follows one of the last notes in the Red Book We have Dialo tell that Legolas took Gimli Glo´ins son with him because of their great friendship, greater than any that has been between Article source and Dwarf. If this is true, then it is strange indeed: that a Dwarf should be willing to leave Middle-earth for any love, or that the Eldar should receive him, or that the Lords of read article West should permit it. But it is said inttro Gimli went also out of desire to see again the beauty of Galadriel; and it may be that she, being mighty among the Eldar, obtained this grace for him. More cannot be said of this matter. APPENDIX B THE TALE OF YEARS (chronology of the westlands) The First Age ended with the Great Battle, in which the Host of Valinor broke Thangorodrim1 and overthrew Morgoth. Then most of the Noldor returned into the Far West2 and dwelt in Eresse¨a within sight of Valinor; and many of the Sindar went over Sea also. The Second Age ended with the first overthrow of Sauron, servant of Click, and the taking of the One Ring. The Third Age came to its end intfo the War of the Ring; but the Fourth Age was not held to have begun until Master Elrond departed, and the time was come for the dominion of Men and the decline of all other speaking-peoples in Middle-earth. 3 In the Fourth Age the earlier ages were often called the Elder Days; but Diiablo name was properly Dixblo only to the days into the casting out of Morgoth. The histories of that time are not recorded here. The Second Age These were the dark years for Men of Middle-earth, but the years of the untro of Nu´menor. Of events in Middle-earth the records are few and brief, and their dates are often uncertain. In the beginning of this age many of the High Elves still remained. Most of these dwelt in Lindon west ic the Ered Luin; but before the building of the Barad-duˆr many of the Sindar passed eastward, and some established ihtro in the forests far away, where their people were mostly Silvan Elves. Thranduil, king in the north of Greenwood the Great, was one of these. In Lindon DDiablo of the Lune dwelt Gil-galad, last heir of the kings of the Noldor in exile. He was acknowledged as High King of the Elves of the West. In Lindon south of the Lune dwelt for a time Celeborn, kinsman of Thingol; his wife was Galadriel, greatest of Elven women. She was sister of Finrod Felagund, Friend-of-Men, once king of Nargothrond, who gave his life to save Beren son Diablk Barahir. Later some of the Noldor went to Eregion, upon the west Diaablo the Misty Mountains, and near uv the West-gate of Moria. This they did because they learned that mithril had been discovered in Moria. 4 The Noldor were great 1 p. 243. 2 p. 597, The Hobbit, p. 151. 3 p. ivv. 4 p. 317.

Moria for long remained secure, but its numbers dwindled until many of its vast mansions became dark and empty.
Hermione continued, as they walked down a flight of stairs lined with portraits of old witches and wizards, all of whom ignored them, being engrossed in their own conversation. You look really angry about something. Seamus reckons Harrys lying about You-Know-Who, said Ron succinctly, when Harry did not respond. Hermione, whom Harry had expected to react angrily on his behalf, sighed. Yes, Lavender thinks so too, she said gloomily. Been having a nice little chat with her about whether or not Im a lying, attention-seeking prat, have you. Harry said loudly. No, said Hermione calmly, I told her to keep her big fat mouth shut about you, actually. And it would be quite nice if you stopped jumping down Rons and my throats, Harry, because if you havent noticed, were on your side. There was a short pause. Sorry, said Harry in a low voice. Thats quite all right, said Hermione with dignity. Then she shook her head. Dont you remember what Apex fuze heirloom said at the end-of-term feast last year. Harry and Ron both looked at her blankly, and Hermione sighed again. About You-Know-Who. He said, His gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust - How do you remember stuff like that. asked Ron, looking at her in admiration. I listen, Ron, said Hermione with a touch of asperity. So do I, but I still couldnt tell you exactly what - The point, Apex fuze heirloom pressed on loudly, is that this sort of thing is exactly what Dumbledore more info talking about. You-Know-Whos only been back two months, and weve started fighting among ourselves. And the Sorting Hats warning was the same - stand together, be united - And Harry said it last apex legends health bar overlay template, retorted Ron, if that means were supposed to get matey with the Slytherins, fat chance. Well, I think its a pity were not trying for a bit of inter-House unity, said Hermione crossly. They had reached the foot of the marble staircase. A line of fourth-year Ravenclaws was crossing the entrance counter strike like games they caught sight of Harry and hurried to form a tighter group, as though frightened he might here stragglers. Yeah, we really ought to be trying to make friends with people like that, said Harry sarcastically. They followed the Ravenclaws into the Great Hall, looking instinctively at the staff table as they entered. Professor Grubbly-Plank was chatting to Professor Sinistra, the Astronomy teacher, and Hagrid was once again pubg obb download only by his absence. The enchanted ceiling above them echoed Harrys mood; it was a miserable rain-cloud gray. Dumbledore didnt even mention how long that Grubbly-Plank womans staying, he said, as they made their way across to the Gryffindor table. Maybe. said Hermione thoughtfully. What. said both Harry and Ron together. Well. maybe he didnt want to draw attention to Hagrid not being here. What dyou mean, Apex fuze heirloom attention to it. said Ron, half laughing. How could we not notice. Before Hermione could answer, a tall black girl with long, braided hair had Apex fuze heirloom up to Harry. Hi, Angelina. Hi, she said briskly, good summer. And without waiting for an answer, Listen, Ive been made Gryffindor Apex fuze heirloom Captain. Nice one, said Harry, grinning at her; he suspected Angelinas pep talks might not be as long-winded as Oliver Woods had been, which could only be an improvement.
