Chapter 1 - Rangers

He was a mere boy of sixteen, eager to seek adventure and glory; to wear the coveted uniform of the Ithillien Rangers.


“They are an honourable unit of men – learn all they have to teach you Faramir and you may hope one day that you will have the honour of leading them as their captain.”


The words of his father all those years ago came whirling back to haunt the Steward’s son as he led the charge to recapture the fallen city of Osgilliath.

But on this day - honour played no part in leading his rangers to certain death.
