The other day I was thinking about a post about the faithless and forsworn government and military people who have convinced themselves that they are keeping the faith by betraying the Constitution and working to actively undermine the government elected by the people in this Republic and so I was drawn to my muse who really covered all things and looked up who it was that Aragorn found to defeat the invaders laying siege to the ports of Gondor. Everyone knows it was the souls of the wild Mountain Men who broke their oath to come and fight when called and so lingered in the half light for hundreds of years unable to go on to their reward.
They were summoned by Strider at the Stone of Erech.
Today I was reviewing some close-in camera work to see where the wood chucks roam prior to 'dealing' with them and low and behold, The Stone!
Well, OK, perhaps it's a bowling ball I dropped on one of the tunnel entrances leading to the underworld basement waterproofing but still it bears an uncanny resemblance. To barge pole the metaphor a little further downstream, the mountain men will have had it easy in comparison to the fate that lies in wait for the unwary creatures of the night around these parts.
