Day 3 of the SiegeThe sun has not pierced the smoke for days now. Even at midday, the sky remains a dull, choking grey — as if Mordor has smeared its hand across the heavens to blot out hope itself.We hold the walls, for now.The enemy came like a black tide, rolling from the east across the Pelennor Fields. I was stationed on the eastern wall when they first emerged — thousands of them, orcs mostly, but also men from the South, tall and cruel-eyed, bearing standards we did not recognize. Their drums never cease. That sound—low, hollow—pounds against our chests like the heartbeat of doom itself.The great ram they call Grond has not yet reached our gates, but we’ve seen it in the distance. It crawls forward like some monstrous beast, pulled by creatures twisted beyond nature. I fear its coming more than I fear death. The old tales say it broke the gates of Elendil’s kin long ago. What chance do we have now?I dare not hope too much.But I will stand my post. We all will. This city has stood for a thousand years. If we fall, let it be said we fought like the sons of Númenor — proud, unyielding.Whatever comes tomorrow, Minas Tirith will not fall easily.- Halros, 3rd Company, 4th Circle WatchWhite Tower Guard
>And as if in answer there came from far away another note. Horns, horns, horns. In dark Mindolluin’s sides they dimly echoed. Great horns of the North wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last
>>64395806Do we have anything from the Orc side though describing their three day special military operation at Osgiliath?
>>64395859I can’t imagine what it would have been like. Respect to those men>>64395888interesting thought, but I’m not sure that orcs had an education in literacy
Arena copagodas a viable protection against catapult fire?

>>Therefore he counselled Melko to devise out of his sorceries a succour for his warriors in their endeavour. From the greatness of his wealth of metals and his powers of fire he bid him make beasts like snakes and dragons of irresistible might that should overcreep the Encircling Hills and lap that plain and its fair city in flame and death. Thus Melko assembles all his most cunning smiths and sorcerers, and of iron and flame they wrought a host of monsters such as only would be seen once. Some were all of iron so cunningly linked that they might flow like slow rivers of metal or coil themselves around and above all obstacles before them, and these were filled in their innermost depths with the grimmest of the Orcs. Others are made of bronze and copper and given hearts and spirits of blazing fire.
Maybe Gondor shouldn't have launch 5 billion rocks at orcish children and respected the mordorian minority in Minas Morgul instead of going on a genocidal rampage. Then they wouldn't need to be demilitarized.

Atleasr quote the whole passage:>But it was no orc-chieftain that stood before him. Suddenly it seemed to Gandalf that he saw the madness that was in him, and that he was greater and more terrible than any that he had yet met.>The winged creature screamed, and the horse reared and would have thrown his rider, but the Rider thrust a black mace under its mane and smote it to the ground. Then drawing his black sword he cried:>‘Old fool! This is my hour. Do you not know Death when you see it? Die now and curse in vain!’>And with that he lifted high his sword and flames ran down the blade.>Gandalf did not move. And in that very moment, away behind in some courtyard of the City, a cock crowed.>Shrill and clear he crowed, recking nothing of wizardry or war, welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above the shadows of death was coming with the dawn.
>>64395938>Arena copagodas a viable protection against catapult fire?Pic is from mahabrata war circa 1200 BCE. Pajeets with lazor swords and flying motorcycles fought in it.
