[Aragorn] looked up, and it seemed that he had made some decision; his face was less troubled. “Then, by your leave, lord, I must take new counsel for myself and my kindred. We must ride our own road, and no longer in secret. For me the time of stealth has passed. I will ride east by the swiftest way, and I will take the Paths of the Dead.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Aragorn fears the Rohirrim cannot ride quickly enough to Gondor’s aid. Using the Palantir, he dares a perilous mental battle with Sauron to gain vital intelligence that sends the Dunedain of the north racing toward Pelargir.<\/p>\n
Leaving Merry with Theoden, Aragorn decides the company must travel the Paths of the Dead \u2013- a name as ill-omened as Cirith Ungol. Join us at 5pm ET Saturday in the Hall of Fire<\/a> for what’s sure to be a lively discussion!<\/p>\n
