In
that
last
battle
were
Mithrandir
,
and
the
sons
of
Elrond
,
and
the
King
of
Rohan
,
and
lords
of
Gondor
,
and
the
Heir
of
Isildur
with
the
Dunedain
of
the
North
.
There
at
the
last
they
looked
upon
death
and
defeat
,
and
all
their
valour
was
in
vain
;
for
Sauron
was
too
strong
.
Yet
in
that
hour
was
put
to
the
proof
that
which
Mithrandir
had
spoken
,
and
help
came
from
the
hands
of
the
weak
when
the
Wise
faltered
.
For
,
as
many
songs
have
since
sung
,
it
was
the
Periannath
,
the
Little
People
,
dwellers
in
hillsides
and
meadows
,
that
brought
them
deliverance
.
For
Frodo
the
Halfling
,
it
is
said
,
at
the
bidding
of
Mithrandir
took
on
himself
the
burden
,
and
alone
with
his
servant
he
passed
through
peril
and
darkness
and
came
at
last
in
Sauron
’
s
despite
even
to
Mount
Doom
;
and
there
into
the
Fire
where
it
was
wrought
he
cast
the
Great
Ring
of
Power
,
and
so
at
last
it
was
unmade
and
its
evil
consumed
.
Then
Sauron
failed
,
and
he
was
utterly
vanquished
and
passed
away
like
a
shadow
of
malice
;
and
the
towers
of
Barad
-
dur
crumbled
in
ruin
,
and
at
the
rumour
of
their
fall
many
lands
trembled
.
Thus
peace
came
again
,
and
a
new
Spring
opened
on
earth
;
and
the
Heir
of
Isildur
was
crowned
King
of
Gondor
and
Arnor
,
and
the
might
of
the
Dunedain
was
lifted
up
and
their
glory
renewed
.
In
the
courts
of
Minas
Anor
the
White
Tree
flowered
again
,
for
a
seedling
was
found
by
Mithrandir
in
the
snows
of
Mindolluin
that
rose
tall
and
white
above
the
City
of
Gondor
;
and
while
it
still
grew
there
the
Elder
Days
were
not
wholly
forgotten
in
the
hearts
of
the
Kings
.
Now
all
these
things
were
achieved
for
the
most
part
by
the
counsel
and
vigilance
of
Mithrandir
,
and
in
the
last
few
days
he
was
revealed
as
a
lord
of
great
reverence
,
and
clad
in
white
he
rode
into
battle
;
but
not
until
the
time
came
for
him
to
depart
was
it
known
that
he
had
long
guarded
the
Red
Ring
of
Fire
.
At
the
first
that
Ring
had
been
entrusted
to
Cirdan
,
Lord
of
the
Havens
;
but
he
had
surrendered
it
to
Mithrandir
,
for
he
knew
whence
he
came
and
whither
at
last
he
would
return
’
Take
now
this
Ring
,
’
he
said
;
’
for
thy
labours
and
thy
cares
will
be
heavy
,
but
in
all
it
will
support
thee
and
defend
thee
from
weariness
.
For
this
is
the
Ring
of
Fire
,
and
herewith
,
maybe
,
thou
shalt
rekindle
hearts
to
the
valour
of
old
in
a
world
that
grows
chill
.
But
as
for
me
,
my
heart
is
with
the
Sea
,
and
I
will
dwell
by
the
grey
shores
,
guarding
the
Havens
until
the
last
ship
sails
.
Then
I
shall
await
thee
.
’
White
was
that
ship
and
long
was
it
a
-
building
,
and
long
it
awaited
the
end
of
which
Cirdan
had
spoken
.
But
when
all
these
things
were
done
,
and
the
Heir
of
Isildur
had
taken
up
the
lordship
of
Men
,
and
the
dominion
of
the
West
had
passed
to
him
,
then
it
was
made
plain
that
the
power
of
the
Three
Rings
also
was
ended
,
and
to
the
Firstborn
the
world
grew
old
and
grey
.
In
that
time
the
last
of
the
Noldor
set
sail
from
the
Havens
and
left
Middle
-
earth
for
ever
.
And
latest
of
all
the
Keepers
of
the
Three
Rings
rode
to
the
Sea
,
and
Master
Elrond
took
there
the
ship
that
Cirdan
had
made
ready
.
In
the
twilight
of
autumn
it
sailed
out
of
Mithlond
,
until
the
seas
of
the
Bent
World
fell
away
beneath
it
,
and
the
winds
of
the
round
sky
troubled
it
no
more
,
and
borne
upon
the
high
airs
above
the
mists
of
the
world
it
passed
into
the
Ancient
West
,
and
an
end
was
come
for
the
Eldar
of
story
and
of
song
.
