Gimli: "Bad idea, very handy in a tight spot these lads."
Ghost King: *literal death stare*
Gimli is the voice of every D&D player I ever had.
I just wanted to smack him
Despite the fact they're dead
Literal death stare looool
@@palomapetilos8703 smack your bitch up
Imagine if Aragorn had to say that line for every single one of the dead, releasing them one at the time.
hahahahha excellent
Oogway would have.
He'd be like lads I'll sign a note instead, get your photocopy from the Wizard.
That would've certainly extended this set of movies well beyond a mere trilogy.
He'd be waiting for gandalf to say to him "Go Aragorn, your oath is fulfulled. Be at peace" like the end of a DMV line.
This scene is so powerful. Just the look of complete peace on the Ghost King's face. I can almost feel his relief.
Definitely, great acting
Me after taking a huge dump
@@larukulunaseas I agree
@@larukulunaseas haha thought the same lmao
That is thousands of years of tireless suffering, at long last laid to rest.
Aragorn; a true king with honour.
Gimli; a true dwarf.
Would not a dwarf held it's word as sacred? Bit out of character of Gimli.
@@barthoving2053 tbf Gimli spends the entire trilogy out of character. I really don't like dissing the movies bc they're amazing but they did Gimli's entire character dirty
They used Gimli as the butt of every joke and to make everyone else look good and noble by comparison. Very unfortunate.
Gimli's role as comic relief doesn't sit so good with me. Regular dwarfs would never break an oath.
@Old Monkey A dwarf would never break a promise
Thorin: sips coffee quietly
I've always felt that Gandalf bows to Aragorn because he realizes he accepted his destiny as the King of Gondor. Only the King could've released them from their oath. Subtle little acknowledgement to the King... always classy, Gandalf.
That and he's proud of his decision to let go of great power because its the right thing to do is the entire schtick of the Lord of the Rings.
And Aragorn sees and realises this, based on his face afterwards
Our good old Mithrandir
I always thought he bowed to Army of dead
I thought he bowed to Aragorn as a gesture of respect to a king of honor.
When I was a kid, I've always thought "why not use the Dead Army to cleanse not just Gondor but also Mordor and Angmar and all other areas of evil and THEN release them." But, he is a man of honor so whatevs.
я и сейчас так думаюXD
+Lovi Poekimo a MAN OF honor is a rare finding these days ....indeed!
+Lovi Poekimo The ghosts cant destroy Sauron. Only by destroying the ring Sauron will fall.
+Lovi Poekimo I agree, I mean its not like that got something else to do, their families are all dead.
To be fair if Aragon broke his oath what's to stop the ghosts just running away or killing him when they realise he won't give them peace. Also I'm fairly certain Sauron has prepared for something like this given his origins
"I hold your oath fulfilled. Go... be at peace."
This seriously brings a tear into my eyes. A man of honor.
The leader of the ghost army looks relieved feeling the binds of damnation being released. I felt at peace.
oh boy arent you a little emotional...
i feel like Aragorn could have made a better deal. he could say, “hey, i have a war to win. you have been waiting a long time. help me fight for a month or two, and then i’ll set you free. it’s not like you are going to die or anything.”
@@yesnickcarter No. He gave his word, and as the honorable King that he proved himself to be; he kept it.
They longed for peace for thousands of years, one that they had fully earned that final day upon the battlefield.
@@Valoelify i know he kept his end of the bargain. my point is that Vigo could have made a better deal. did the dead really have to sacrifice anything to fight in that battle? i haven’t seen the movie in a while. but the way i remember it, they just had to show up somewhere and kill some orcs, without worrying about injury or death themselves. i would have asked them to more than just show up and invincibly decimate my foes only once.
but i understand that Tolkien didn’t do that because they were just a gimmick to get through one more battle. that’s how every battle is fought in this whole series. the humans do the best they can, while another proxy shows up at the last second when all hope is lost, and decisively end the battle. that is the point of “the good soldier” in these books. do your duty and hold out long enough, and you may be rewarded for your sacrifice.
After they left, Gimli mumbled under his breath, "That still only counts as one"
Lol
xD
They're already dead, they count as 0
@@arturofernandez4058 They were twitching.
@@Pumpkin525 They were twitching because they got Gimli's axe in their nervous system
Does anyone else find this scene extremely emotional in a satisfying way..?
Yes death is a release and they never got to have one due to being traitors
They can be with the rest of their people that died out thousands of years ago and go to the halls of Mandos.
It is for some reason. His weird smile makes it.
When my boss finally says I can go home for the night:
Me
"...I hold your oaths fulfilled... Go be at peace..." -- Such a powerful line!!!
One of the best lines spoken by Aragorn.
It kinda sounds familiar, like you've heard somewhere else before .... ;)
@@TPBass1224 no
@@Ray2311us : I believe you.
Our boss tells us that every Friday at quitting time.
1) If Aragorn would've refused them peace, he would have broken his oath, which in return would have not stopped the Dead from killing them all to finally get their peace. 2) The Men of the Third Age were Men of honour and as such, it was the right thing to do. Going back on the oath would have made them no better than Sauron.
+DraculaCronqvist Well put my friend, men before Aragorn sought and used power solely for the benefit of themselves and their people. Men like Boromir and Denethor think about vanquishing evil once and for all and saving everyone, Aragorn uses power too but he keeps his honour by having the courage to let go. It was not just morally right choice but it was a smart choice.
+DraculaCronqvist but their oath was to fight for him, not to fight just in 1 battle. Just like the previous War of the Last Alliance, where they had given their oath to fight. That lasted months in front of the Black Gate and before barad-dur. The men of the mountain could have at least helped at the Black Gate battle smh
They can't get peace by killing the only remaining Isildur's Heir, lol. Did you score -60 on your last IQ test?
@@bigboss9817 Not the same peace as they eventually got, but no oath could hold them anymore. They'd be doomed to a living death forever, but would never be held accountable. There is more than one type of peace, you ginormous twat.
But...since they are tireless, they could easily wipe out the armies of Mordor. So when Aragorn had chosen to summon them to fulfill their oath he could take them to Mordor. They wipe the army on both fronts, and then released them; But then having Frodo destroy the ring would be pointless. So its a good thing they got freed right then and there.
People seem to forget the Army of the Dead could easily slaughter the rest of Gondor and Rohan left since they can't be killed if Aragorn turned back on his word. The Army of the Dead were cursed because they failed to come to Gondor's aid in their hour of need which is what they did this time
And you seem to forget that they are unable to do physical damage. They are ghosts.
@@bigboss9817 Did you watch the movie? Fuckers were more that capable of causing physical harm.
@G E T R E K T 905 how did they kill the orcs?
In the books the ghosts didn't fight, they were used to scare the corsairs/pirates off their ships at Gondor's coastal cities. This also allowed Gondor's armies at those cities to sail to Minas Tirith to join the battle. So it was a double blow to Sauron in the battle: he lost all his Corsair forces and then Gondor brought their reinforcements on top of that, which is why Sauron's forces lost the battle.
So the ghosts were vital despite not actually doing any fighting.
IN THE MOVIE the ghosts killed their enemies with PHYSICAL damage, in the MOVIE.
Gimli casually wanting to deny an army of men eternal peace
To be fair, he likely only wanted to deny them that for a little while longer, until Sauron was defeated.
You have to admit, the lads are pretty hand in a tight spot (despite the fact they're dead).
@@duckpwnd 🤣 your comment is gold
Gimli casually playing eru
To be fair Gimli is looking at it pragmatically, Rohan and Gondor are spent manpower wise and Sauron still has the GREATER Chunk of his forces in Mordor. a nigh unstoppable ghost army would even odds regardless of numbers
Aragorn’s first act as King of Gondor as only the King had the power to release them from their Oath. Powerful scene....
Actually, he wasn't King yet, and he didn't need to be to release them. He needed to be the Heir of Isuldur.
In the book, I think he declared himself in the Palantir and before the doorman at Edoras.
@@fredsafarowic3149 Yes, he had, but that didn't matter to the Dead. Being Isuldur's heir was what gave him power over them. All the kings of Gondor in the 3rd age could not have commanded the dead, as they were the heirs of Anarion.
For those curious that haven't read the books, the Army of the Dead never directly took part in the battle of Pelennor Fields. Their aid was a one time deal, but it was used to route the Corsairs of Umbar. Interestingly enough I don't think there's ever any mention of the dead directly harming the corsairs either. Their weapon was sheer terror, causing the corsairs to leap from their ships. A bit less OP than the movies and a bit more reasonable imo. The reinforcements Aragorn brings are the coastal garrisons of Gondor that no longer need to fend off corsairs.
so they were literal ghosts that can harm no living afterall? they're just useful for spook tactics? 😂
@@chattycookie5971 I mean, that's much more satisfying as a story element than "good guys have a literally invincible army that only doesn't sweep Mordor clean too because Aragorn bid low in negotiations." I love the RotK film, but the anticlimactic conclusion to this battle is my least favorite part of the film trilogy.
@@Rodanguirus even Peter Jackson admitted that he regretted adding the ghosts being able to cause harm in the movie
@@chattycookie5971 Exactly that. But do not discount the power of spookiness. Morale is one of the big deciding factors in battle and I envision their terror as supernatural, much like the Witch King's. For instance, if they made an army of orcs turn tail and flee in the middle of battle the other side would easily be able to run them down.
If I remember this correctly, you can see in the books, that everything has to be done by themselves - hobbits, people, elves and dwarves without super OP imbalanced weapons. Main thought - give free folks hope (Gandalf) and they will do by themselves. Good thought by Tolkien
0:36 That's how I feel when I pass a final exam.
When you finish highschool
Teacher: "I hold your exam fulfilled. Go, be at peace."
They got screwed over once, they thought they were getting screwed over again….the sense of peace they received at being released is incredible
did they get screwed over before? I thought it was they who screwed over gondor by not coming to their aid.
they were not the victims, they were the perpetrators
they never got screwed over, they were the ones doing the screwing
*Isildur stands at the pass in the mountains after Sauron is defeated*
"You told us that when we called upon you, you would come to our aid. Yet when the call was sent, when the armies of Mordor were at our doorstep and hope was as smoke...where were you? WHERE WERE YOU?! You are all naught but traitorous rats, hiding in the dark. Cowards and oathbreakers I name you! So be it. I, King Isildur of Gondor, blood of Numanor, do hearby curse you! You shall never rest, never know peace nor even death until you answer the call of my kin and fulfill your oath. Only then shall you be free."
*Three thousand years later*
Isildur OP
I always wondered how a simple man, even if he was royalty, could cast such powerful curse. Then I remembered that he was Númenórean, the most powerful race second only to the elves.
@@moteroargentino7944 I'm beginning to believe that we all can if we're upset enough with someone...
@@moteroargentino7944 Because men in Lotr have (without them knowing) free will and their mind and spirits are closely linked to Eru, or god. The men of the mountains swore an oath and they betrayed it when gondor was in need. So when isildur cursed them, Eru signed of on it so they would not only be punished for their betrayal, but it was also a chance for them to make the right choice and redeem themselves. The fact that he was numenorean had little to do with it.
I wonder...Isildur had the ring in his possession by that time. Could that have enforced the curse?
The king of the dead’s performance is super underrated here tbh. Despite the fact that he’s obscured by All this cgi, we’re able to see the look of pure relief and peace that he feels right before he fades away.
Yes, even the actors playing cameos were great.
“You gave us your word” a powerful statement. And although the Men of Dunharrow did initially break their oath, they did in the end fulfill the vow they swore to Isildur or in this case his direct descendant. For Aragorn to break this deal would make him just as dishonorable as they were. Aragorn releasing them is a testament to the quality of his character.
An old debt finally repaid... Be at peace
Aragorn looks so satisfied with him self after Gandalf bows at him lol
You can see in 0:18 Aragorn expression, that in my opinion he didn't really want to release them because he still need them, probably know he can use them to attack Mordor. But he knows in his heart if he do that hes no different than Isildur who refuse to destroy the ring. It's also like everyone else says, if the Ghost realize that Aragorn won't release them they might betray him and kill everyone in there.
My Mom when I actually do remember to defrost the chicken:
It was a "one time deal". The king and the other undead agreed to fight once under Aragorn's rule, he agreed and promised them release and thus passing onto the the other world. It wasn't a bargain he could modify.
They finally got to Rest In Peace.. am I the only one who felt relieved when they were released.. like finally getting to go to sleep after being awake for so long
i went to the bathroom today...totally relieved
They did not belong in the mortal world anymore , it was a fate worse than death and it was finally gone.
Aragorn keeps his word, what can more majestic. If you do no have honesty, you do not have anything.
That means 80 percent of the world is lost.
Never made a promise that was fulfilled by the other
i think you mean integrity, not honesty.
@@drizzle8927 huh, you're right. Nice to know. Had to Google the differences.
Tell that to Donald Trump :D
This one of the best scenes in LOTR. Being able to let go something so tempting for the greater good is difficult to achieve. Difficult is an understatement and Greater good is a luxury to achieve and acquire even these days.
Well, not a luxury, a necessity thats lost for the worst.
Aragorn did right in releasing them. It would have been wrong to scum them. I however think that Aragorn didn't really negotiate enough before like win the war.
You don't understand the basic idea of storytelling
in the books Aragorn releases them even before reaching pelennor ...they only help them by scaring the pirates so i think this is an improvement
To be fair, at this point the fighting is over. It's up to Frodo and Sam to destroy the ring. The war won't be won by force of arms anymore. As far as Aragorn is concerned, the dead are no longer needed so there would be no point in Aragorn breaking his word.
@@lisahenry20 yeah and why did aragorn even hesitate. they couldve just destroyed all the people they saved in a matter of minutes, i dont really understand why it took aragorn a few seconds to even consider breaking his word. without them this story could've turned out quite a bit different
"Help me defeat Gondor's enemies and you are free."
There.
Imagine being in a cave for God knows how long, some guy appears, you guys make a deal, you kill a few thousand orcs, and you’re free forever
And there's no downside because you can't feel pain or get injured
@@EredediIsildur That is what bothers me.
Yes, oath fulfilled at zero risk in contrast to what their actual oath was - to risk their lives for their people and their king. They didn't, they risked nothing.
@@olebergst.5828 it would have been better if they could be destroyed by nazgul or maybe regular physical attacks, so they could fulfill their oath by ending their lives defending gondor
@@olebergst.5828 It makes more sense in the book. The Army of the Dead had no real physical power. Their role was to scare the Corsairs into fleeing, allowing Aragorn to hijack their ships with every able-bodied Gondorian and Dunedain soldier he could find along the way up the river.
Ghost King: release us
Gimli: bro, you do realize we still have to fight Mordor and Sauron right?
Aragorn: go, be at peace
Gimli: ffs why am I even here...
How it should have ended:
Aragorn: i hold your oath fulfilled, be at peace... before you go. do you want to give us a hand with our issue. Just a 20 min adventure, in an out. What do you say?
@@nandorfarkas6885 _"You son of a b1tch, we are in."_
For all those who think it would have been a good idea to "use" the army of the dead further. It would have been extremely risky. They might have just go mad, and turn against the living, or perhaps Sauron manage to turn them with a similar offer. Sauron already proven to be very tempting, and powerful. Using an army of the dead against a necromancer is not exactly the wisest choice.
Also, if the Army was originally cursed for breaking an oath, than it would also stand to say that Aragorn himself would be cursed had he broken his word in turn.
Very true. I always was troubled by the logic of not using them but now after reading your comment I realise it makes perfect sense to not use them against a NECROMANCER who could potentially uno reverso the situation.
Gandalf: bows to the true king!
Aragorn: We don't do that here!
0:38 man I can feel this scene . Feels like lying down on your bed after a long day and its so cold but the bed is so warm and cozy .
He finally met a king who kept his word 👏.......
That's a powerful scene about sticking to you word and commitments. Aragorn held immense power here and he let it go.
The dead couldnt kill Aragorn because hes the only one who could release them, but they'd have killed his people and friends, maybe even helped sauron had he not released them. He did the right thing.
Aragorn knew better. Words have power in Middle Earth. Isildur cursed the Army of the Dead after they broke their oaths. If Aragorn had gone back on his word, he would have been cursed far worse.
This is also the moment he proves himself better than Isildur without question. Whereas Isildur lost allies and cursed them, Aragorn made allies and blessed them.
@@joaogrrr but they're gone now
I can’t think of a single scene in this trilogy that isn’t a great moment. Peter Jackson is such a legendary man for adapting this films to this quality. I know he went through a hard time with the Hobbit but I don’t blame the shortcomings on him.
While I do agree, the hobbit trilogy is what made me watched lotr. As well as discovering the man behind this legendarium.
Tbh I dislike this plot "twist". It's not horrible, but I never liked the idea of these power ful deus ex machina guys slaughtering orcs lwft and right. It made the struggle of man, of Gondor an Rohan, seem meaningless, because in the end the orcs were just swept away by an omnipotent foe.
I think the book did it better: The ghosts were unable to fight, but they scared the corsairs of their ship, thus preventing these reinforcements from arriving. Instead, Aragon rallied Gondor's troops from that region and shipped them to Pelennor.
The ghosts had their part, but they were not all-powerful gods. In the end, it was men that won that battle, the struggle of Minas Tirith and Rohan was not meaningless.
A real King - honoured his word. 👍👍👍
Aragorn: ”Go, be at peace”
*Dead Army starts to disappear*
Aragorn: ”Wait wait! Can you stay and help us defeat mordor?
Dead Army: ”Oh come on!!!”
**Family Guy transition music**
LMFAO
0:40 when the crack kicks in
It could be argued that Aragorn could use the oath breakers to cleanse morder. But the oath that was made was to protect Gondor in its hour of need. Not wage war. If he kept the oath breakers it would be no different if he kept the one ring. Aragorn did right by them.
When you just went to feel peace about something the feel is so good when you let it go
Wouldn't be such a good idea bringing them along to fight in Mordor regardless. Sauron, though weakened was still the most powerful existing sorcerer and necromancer. He would likely control the dead army, it's actually quite fortunate that Eowyn killed the Witch King before they arrived in Pelenor. The Witch King also had power over the dead, as he demonstrated with the Barrow-wights.
Yup
In all of the _The Lord of the Rings,_ this to me is the most hopeful, beautiful moment. It is redemption from torment, final freedom from past mistakes. 💛 🙏🏽
In ancient times, people actually feared great curses would befall them or their loved ones, for broken oaths. Back when the world had some semblance of justice and honor...... Movies can tell us alot, whether it be fact or fiction.
0:05 The facial expression of Gandalf here. Even for a ancient Demi-God being this was an unusual event, seeing the army of the dead here... Great Scene!!
It's hard to believe that I saw this film at the theater nearly 20 years ago.
I love what the king is wearing. Clothing and armour from a far earlier age of Men. It would be like us meeting a king from the time of the Trojan War

Nice to have an army you don't have to feed, house, or pay.
You only have to worry about that whole "indestructible ghost army that thoroughly dislikes you" part.

In the books Gandalf and Aragorn had been good friends for decades; I'm sure he was proud because he knew he'd make the right choice.

a word is word.
There is almost nothing better when a man keeps his word.
Aragorn amongst any character i’ve seen, book related and movies, is probably the braviest and most decent person to ever live.
He is loyal, brave, he does not lie, honestly i cant see any traces of weakness within him.
He is the true king. Amazing character. And viggo did an amazing job.
The only other actor i could see doing this character is mads mikkelsen.
This scene is very short but I think this is memorable somehow. Aragorn holding his promise is what makes him a true king who honors the oath. Otherwise it would be another villain who follows greed and power.
Its sad/clever how the ghosts are so used to betrayal and mistreatment that just the slight consideration that Aragorn could hold their oath just fills them with rage
Gandalf realizing Aragorn has accepted his fate as king never gets old
On second thought could you help us out with a little problem called Mordor
Don't be silly. The eagles will deal with that.
They only fought for him because they expected him to release them. Nothing stopping them from going back.
sure let s send evil ghosts that were cursed for wanting to join sauron in the war of the last alliance to mordor cause surely they won t join him
A very solemn moment.
Aragorn: True King of Slight Head Movements
Haha Im glad Im not first who noticed
gandalf's bow meant a lot in this scene.
an act worthy of a King!
this scene is like a mini-story in itself with plot, conflict and resolution
Death is just another path, one that we all must take
My favourite quote in the whole trilogy, I find it oddly reassuring.
Aragorn: "Be at peace."
Gimli: "Meh."
l cannot stop imagining, that immediately when they army disappears, there is a short moment of silence, and then a high pitched fart sound.

This scene is chilling.
The greatest trilogy in the history of Cinema
Aragorn: *turns to Gandalf*
Gandalf: Oh looks, a penny!
This scene is the moment the King returned, forget him being crowned later on this is the moment .
This was the first I see ghosts in broad daylight when I was a kid
Gandalf just experienced a great, bloody and dirty battle with filthy creatures, and yet his clothes look like he just took them off the hanger. A little magic dry-cleaning? (heh-heh).
indeed. lol
Maybe he is that good he wasnt even hit
Gotta love tolkeins subtle hints at forgiveness and redemption. Boromir, the dead.
Aragorn greatest fear is the weakness of Isildur runs in his veins. That he will fail the test. Here he is offered ultimate power and chooses to let it go. He chooses honour over corruption.
I mean... Having them go to Mordor and clear that place out real quick would not have been a bad idea.
The deal between Aragorn and the ghost king was only about to aid them in the battle of Gondor/Pelennor. not to wage war on Mordor and other places. If Aragorn changed his mind and broke the deal at that moment, I think it would be a disaster. The undead army will likely end up killing the remaining people around in the city including his team.
Maybe Aragorn could do that, for the ghost army to stay longer if they made the deal in the first place until the battle of the entire middle earth up to Mordor is over and has won and defeated Sauron. Then that would be the only time to release them.
Not a great idea. Sauron was the most powerful necromancer in Middle Earth. Controlling the dead or even the undead......that was his schtick. So what do you think would happen if you marched a ghost army into Mordor?
Honestly, I doubt they could've helped at the black gate, Saurons Influence is too great.
@@jr5925 Especially since in the books The Dead were never at the Pellenor fields. They helped Aragorn take the fleet of the Corsairs at Pelargir, some hundred miles away from Minas Tirith, and were released there.
@@jr5925 in the books they don’t actually have any physical power. They just scare the shit out of the corsairs so hard that they surrender. Thus it makes more sense to release them, because they couldn’t have done anything at the Black Gate
Aragon keeper his word, a man of honour and that must’ve felt really good for the ghosts.
00:25 when my boss reluctantly says i can finally go home after a 15hr shift
0:25 I don't know why this sentence of the dead king breaks me :(
It is as if he were asking for compassion, at the same time
that he begins to feel helpless at the thought that they will never have peace.
Aragorn should have released them of their oath but also asked them if they would stay a little longer to help out with the next battle. Like Gimli said these guys are the best.
Why would they stay? You free them or you don't. You can't really give them a bonus.
You promised peace if they helped you, they helped you, the honor require to give them their pay, not make them do benevolent work
0:38 when you fart and your stomach stops hurting
Ghost King: DAAAAAMN That felt good
I always felt that this would be a good idea for a good necromancer. whenever they bring out their undead, it's actually the souls of the oathbreakers (or this world's version of them) going into the dead body. then when they're destroyed, or do what they're supposed to, those souls are released.
A man without his word is nothing.
Aragorn is a good man to free the dead. He showed me how to honor the dead.
Aragorn should give them choice:
More glory aganist Mordor or...this.
That would be boring if they chose to have more glory against Mordor.
Władca Wymiaru Logically speaking, if you deny them there oath they would kill you.
@@triheadwar1996 Ghosts can't kill anyone. Logically speaking. And none of this happened in the book lol
@@triheadwar1996 Well if that's the case, the logical course of action would be:
Aragorn: Hey mate, your guys were siiiiick. Totally ripped those orcs a new one amirite? You know, I'll totally release you if you want me to, BUT, just if y'all want, you could tag along to mordor? Hand out one last beating and help a fella out?
Like obviously i'll release you afterwards, I swear. But if you don't want to I get it, just say what you wanna do.
Ghost King: Ahhh yeah, alright, that does sound kinda fun. But afterwards we'll definetely want to be released. But a few days won't hurt I guess
They would not do shit aganist Nazguls
Aragorn was an amazing man! He did the right thing but I would have asked them for a favor and stormed Mordor!!! They still had probably 15,000 orcs to go through.
0:18 Aragorn holds a perfect poker face.
I always wondered why Aragorn didn't tell them to go ahead and destroy Mordor as well while they're at it, then I realized it was because they'd have killed EVERYthing that moves, including Sam and Frodo... Also if Aragorn doesn't keep his oath, they can't kill Aragorn because he is the only heir to the throne, but they CAN kill all Aragorn's friends in revenge and heck, everyone in Gondor if they choose. They obviously had no problem with killing anyone who came into their lair.
It brings tears to my eyes, even though "lads" were not honorable. Finally, dead men rest in peace.
They regained their honor. They deserved to be at peace
@@HalfEatenMedia Yes, just like Boromir had done earlier in the series. Redemption can be found.
