Rammas Echor, Sindarin for “Great Circle-Wall”, was a major fortification protecting Minas Tirith. Built following the loss of Minas Ithil, it served as the second line of defense against the East, The first being the Anduin river. It completely encompasses the fertile town lands of Pelennor and the White City, with three major gates. The North gate, The South Gate, and Osgiliath Gate protected by the causeway forts. It ran 10 leagues around the Pelennor, and it’s farthest point of the Osgiliath gate was 4 leagues away. The wall’s first major action was during the War of the Ring, where the Witch-King’s army breached the causeway forts with large explosives and siege weaponry. It was taken quickly, and the next major battle would be at Minas Tirith. The Rohirrim came to the Battle of Pelennor past the occupied wall through the Stonewain Valley, a forgotten road known only to the Woses, Wildmen of the Drúadan Forest. An amazing example of Gondorian architecture, that wasn’t very useful.

“Death in the morning and at day’s ending lords took and lowly, Long now they sleep under grass in Gondor by the Great River. Grey now as tears, gleaming silver, red then it rolled, roaring water: foam dyed with blood flamed at sunset; as beacons mountains burned at evening; red fell the dew in Rammas Echor.”

- Ending stanza of the Mounds of Mundberg, regarding the dead of the Anduin. Return Of The King, The Battle Of The Pelennor Fields.

Sting was an elvish sword used by Bilbo Baggins and his heir Frodo Baggins, Forged in the First Age in Gondolin, it’s purpose in battle was a dagger, but to a small hobbit it made an excellent short sword. It glows silver, blue on the edges, when goblins and orcs are nearby, which is a quality of First Age Elvish swords. It’s use during the Fall of Gondolin is unknown, but it was found by Thorin’s Company on their Quest to Erebor. Following the encounter and defeat of the trolls the Company found their hoard which held numerous treasures. Bilbo took the sword as he was unarmed at the time, and clearly underestimated the danger of the quest. Throughout his quest he kept it in his breeches, it is described as a plain sword with a leather sheath. It was used to intimidate Gollum for escape from the Misty Mountains, but it wasn’t until the dwarves were captured by the Giant Spiders of Mirkwood that Bilbo baptized the blade in blood. The “sting” of his sword upon the spiders is what prompted it’s name. The sword served Bilbo throughout his quest, and he brought it home to the Shire and ultimately Rivendell. There it was passed unto his heir Frodo Baggins, for his Quest of the Ring. Frodo used it extensively in the Mines of Moria and the Taming of Smeagol. It was able to cut the webs of Shelob, which is significant as they were immune to the barrow blade of Samwise. When Frodo was captured by the orcs of the Tower of Cirith Ungol, the sword passed to Samwise Gamgee, who took it from the “dead” Frodo. Wielded by Sam, Sting helped Samwise storm the Tower, save Frodo, and they finished the quest. Sting was given to Samwise as Frodo went to the Undying Lands, It became an heirloom of Sam’s family.

“Somehow the killing of the giant spider, all alone by himself in the dark without the help of the wizard or the dwarves or of anyone else, made a great difference to Mr. Baggins. He felt a different person, and much fiercer and bolder in spite of an empty stomach, as he wiped his sword on the grass and put it back into its sheath. 'I will give you a name,’ he said to it, ‘and I shall call you Sting.’” - Bilbo showing his Tookish side, The Hobbit, Spiders and Flies.

tbh I can't stop thinking about how i went into Hadestown being like "this is a tragic love story based on a greek myth I enjoy :)" and I came out the other side covered in blood being like "this is a thesis about how capitalism inevitably leads to both personal and global ruin, and so we are duty bound to resist it even as we lose, again and again and again. no matter how impossible it feels or how many times we fail and hit a wall and fall, we try again"

"If I were orpheus I wouldn't look back"

But we look back everyday- rechecking emails, making sure a friend is still behind you, checking to see if you remebered to pick up your keys. It's second nature, a habit of care.

It was second nature for him too. He looked back, not out of weakness, but love. For what is love, if not to look back?

seeing hozier’s calvin klein waistband peeking out from the top of his jeans is like a victorian woman coquettishly flashing her ankles at a gaggle of suitors. in which hozier is the victorian woman, and none of us are anything close to being his suitor.
