Chapter 1 - Irresolution

To not be so proud, not hold myself so above my people.

I will go among them and there find, I have no doubt, that we are not so different. For they are my people: their concerns are my concerns, their worries my worries. Do I not rise each red morning thinking only of their prosperity and safekeeping? I am their protector, their first guardian, Captain of the White Tower, second only in the realm to my Father Denethor Son of Ecthelion, 26th Ruling Steward of Gondor –

Oh, to Hell with it.
