It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

LORD OF THE RINGS (2001-2003)

turning back they saw across the river the far hills kindled. day leaped into the sky. the red rim of the sun rose over the shoulders of the dark land. before them in the west the world lay still, formless and grey; but even as they looked, the shadows of night melted, the colours of the waking earth returned: green flowed over the wide meads of rohan; the white mists shimmered in the watervales; and far off to the left, thirty leagues or more, blue and purple stood the white mountains, rising into peaks of jet, tipped with glimmering snows, flushed with the rose of morning.

BATTLES OF THE WAR OF THE RING ⥱THE BATTLE OF THE HORNBURG

The Battle of the Hornburg was a key event in Saruman’s Invasion of Westfold. His forces bearing the White Hand set out from Isengard on March 2nd, 3019, and numbered over 10,000 - consisting primarily of Uruk-hai orcs and Dunledings. They reached Helm’s Deep on March 3rd, where they met a force of almost 3,000 fighting under Rohan’s banner. The battle lasted until March 4th, when Gandalf and Erkenbrand arrived with reinforcements.

LOTR Chapters On Screen: The Return of the King - Book VI

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

- Book VI, Chapter II: The Land of Shadow
