Chapter 1 - And Rohan Will Answer!

We wait in silence on the hill, overlooking the Pelennor. There are more orcs here than any of us have ever seen back in our homeland. Back in Rohan. Courage mingles with fear among the men, and our horses shift nervously from side to side. But we have been called to help Gondor, and help we shall.

Theoden King moves forward to lead us, speaking to his commanders to lead their eoreds. Wind blows through our banners. A signal is given, and a single horn sounds, announcing our arrival. Spears are readied, and the King speaks to give us courage.
