UNITED AGAINST THE DARK LORD
Heralds of The Free Essentials:
In these times of trouble and warfare, all creatures of noble spirit and honest deed, the Heralds of the Free, must unite against the shadow, lest it soon hold sway over the world entire. Middle-earth is an old place, full of wonder and hidden realms, yet even more diverse are the individuals who pledge themselves to no narrower cause than that of the protection of those who cannot defend themselves.
"The Ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Glóin, by any craft that we here possess. It must be taken deep into Mordor, and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came."
- Elrond of
Rivendell,
The Fellowship of The Ring.
