Éomer tells the companions how things stand in Rohan, prompted by Aragorn's information that Gandalf led the company from Rivendell: That would be like merging the major leagues with Double A ball. ""a league between Orthanc and the Dark Tower" "a league between Orthanc and the Dark Tower" a league ben Orthanc and the Dark Tower"

The song-weaving created a larger song, and then another, until suddenly it was as if a long forgotten memory woke and for one breathtaking moment the Music of the Ainur revealed itself in all glory.
And the stirring became a song, and it mingled with the songs of Gil-galad and Celebrian, and with those of Feanor and Fingon. The audacious proposal stirred his heart. (But these got wiped, so at least there will be no account to marvel among *their* Three Kindreds.)Īnybody who rides a wolf is not *just* an orc, they’re a lupestrian. He found a band made up of Isengard Uruks, Moria Goblins, and Mordor orcs. Ha! Wimps!! Alfonso Bedoya and his gang didn't need no stinking badges!! Éomer explains his own presence so far north in Rohan at this time: his scout reported an "orc-host coming down out of the East Wall", some of whom "bore the white badges of Saruman" who lives west of Isengard. The cat’s out of the bag, Saruman’s true allegiance is known. Did Gandalf's escape precipitate Saruman's aggression? Since that time Saruman "claimed lordship over all this land". He said that he himself had been a prisoner in Orthanc and had hardly escaped, and he begged for help. Until then we counted Saruman our friend, but Gandalf came then and warned us that sudden war was preparing in Isengard. At that time our trouble with Saruman began. Indeed since his last coming in the summer all things have gone amiss. "What business does an Orc, a Goblin, and an Uruk-hai have in the Riddermark?" We're discussing The Lord of the Rings in the Reading Room, Oct.
Was Éomer able to confirm this alliance? If so, now what?Ĭoncerning the war with Saruman, Éomer reports that "has taken Orcs into his service, and Wolf-riders, and evil Men". So suspecting what I most fear, a league between Orthanc and the Dark Tower, I led forth my éored, men of my own household and we overtook the Orcs at nightfall two days ago, near to the borders of the Entwood.
