When the Hordes Descend

'...There at Pelargir lay the main fleet of Umbar, fifty great coaches and smaller vessels beyond count. Many of those that we pursued had reached the havens before us, and brought their fear with them; and some of the coaches had put off, seeking to escape down the River or to reach the far shore; and many of the smaller craft were ablaze. But the Haradrim, being now driven to the brink, turned at bay, and they were fierce in despair; and they laughed when they looked on us, for they were a great army still.

'But Aragorn halted and cried with a great voice: "Now come! By the Black Stone I call you!" And suddenly the Shadow Host that had hung back at the last came up like a grey tide, sweeping all away before it. Faint cries I heard, and dim horns blowing, and a murmur as of countless forces: it was like the echo of some forgotten battle in the Dark Years long ago...'
