9 days to the release of
Return of the King!

Pride and despair! Didst thou think that the eyes of the White Tower were blind? Nay, I have seen more than thou knowest, Grey Fool. For thy hope is but ignorance. Go then and labour in healing! Go forth and fight! Vanity. For a little space you may triumph on the field, for a day. But against the Power that now arises there is no victory. To this City only the first finger of its hand has yet been stretched. All of the East is moving. And even now the wind of thy hope cheats thee and wasts up Anduin a fleet with black sails. The West has failed. It is time for all to depart who would not be slaves.
--Denethor
