Added 2022-10-22 22:36:25 +0000 UTCNEW VIDEO.
In this lore documentary, we take a close look at the Fountain Guard of Gondor. They have a long history, dating back to the founding of Numenor. In these early days of the second age, the high men which forged a realm atop the Isle of Elena were led by a line of Kings. Such rulers had at their side not only a council to provide wisdom but also a guard to see to their safety. Part of this responsibility was extended to the White Tree of Numenor which stood as a symbol of the realm.
Following the Fall of Numenor, the tradition of the Guard would be continued by the line of Numenoreans who escaped to establish the Kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor in Middle Earth. We trace their long history through the Second Age and into the Third Age which climaxed with the War of the Ring. We cover the equipment, organization, and service history of the Fountain Guard throughout this long period. In this way do we also cover the History of Gondor from the reign of the Kings, to the line of Stewards, and finally the Return of the King. We cover the various wars with Morder, the Easterlings, and Umbar with such conflicts as The Battle of Gladden Fields, The Battle of Pelennor Fields, and the Siege of Minas Tirith.
