Theoden where is the rider

Theoden : The Horn of Helm Hammerhand will sound in the deep, one last time! Theoden : Why should I welcome you, Gandalf Stormcrow? Wormtongue : A just question, my liege. Late is the hour in which this conjurer chooses to appear. Ill news is an ill guest. Theoden : A great host, you say? Aragorn : All Isengard is emptied. Theoden : How many? Aragorn : Ten thousand strong at least. Theoden : [astonished] Ten thousand?

Aragorn : It is an army bred for a single purpose: to destroy the world of men. They will be here by nightfall. Theoden : Let them come. Theoden : So it begins. Theoden : [after being exorcised] I know your face Gamling : Every villager able to wield a sword has been sent to the armory Theoden : Who am I, Gamling?

Gamling : You are our king, sire. Theoden : And do you trust your king? Gamling : Your men, my Lord, will follow you to whatever end.

Theoden : To whatever end Theoden : I will not risk open war. Aragorn : Open war is upon you whether you would risk it or not. Theoden : Crops can be re-sown, homes re-built. Before the Battle of the Hornburg , he poetically expresses his belief that the world of men is soon to be destroyed.

As the Uruk-hai overwhelm the fortress, he seems resigned to his fate; when he "rides out" with Aragorn on a final suicide charge, it is more so in order to die with honor than to actually defeat the Uruk-hai. However, Gandalf arrives during their charge and liberates Helm's Deep. The victors ride to Isengard to challenge Saruman, only to find the Ents have already defeated his forces and sealed him in his tower.

He boldly declares that Rohan will answer Gondor 's call for aid once the Beacons of Minas Tirith are lit, and he assembles an army of 6, riders to liberate Gondor from Mordor 's armies. Though he does not believe that his men can actually defeat Sauron, he inspires the Rohirrim to ride to Gondor's aid for the sake of honor. Explore Wikis Community Central.
