"Many are the matters set before the throne on this day. May I rule justly, for the good of Gondor!"
Background
There are many issues facing Gondor which require the pronouncements of King Elessar.
Objective 1
Malthengil has asked you to deliver your report of Mordor to King Elessar, but first there are some matters on which the king must rule.
- Malthengil: 'There are several matters upon which the king must rule, and then he will hear your report of Mordor, <name>. It will not be long.'
Objective 2
- Wait until the king calls for your report
King Elessar must weigh the issues facing Gondor and make his pronouncements.
- Malthengil says, "Attend all ye, hear the judgements of King Elessar!
- Malthengil says, "I call Echadon, Captain of the Garrison, to present his petition."
- Echadon says, "My lord, the recent battle resulted in the deaths of many."
- Echadon says, "Others there were who sustained grievous wounds, and require rest and recovery in the Houses of Healing."
- Echadon says, "These are men and women of Gondor and of Rohan.'
- Echadon says, "But there were others left in our care as a result of the battle's ending."
- Echadon says, "What shall be done with the Khundolar prisoners?
- King Elessar says, "These men surrendered to Gondor, and prayed for mercy."
- King Elessar says, "It is my wish that it be granted to them."
- King Elessar says, "They are to be made free, and given safe passage back to their own lands."
- Echadon says, "Thank you, my lord."
- Malthengil says, "I call Hasong and Mauthoi, emissaries of the Sokhûri, to approach the king."
- King Elessar says, "Hasong and Mauthoi, we have spoken at length and I have heard your desire for peace."
- King Elessar says, "I share that desire, as do many of my people."
- Hasong says, "Not all of them share it, Elessar."
- King Elessar says, "No, Hasong, you speak true. It is a sadness to me."
- King Elessar says, "But I wish to have peace with the Sokhûri, and that is my command."
- King Elessar says, "Let there be forgiveness between our peoples, and friendship."
- Hasong says, "May it be so, Elessar."
- Malthengil says, "I call Beregond, Guard of the Citadel, to appear for judgement."
- Malthengil says, "<name>, will you tell Beregond his time has come?
Objective 3
Beregond is in the Hall of the King and has not heard that it is his time for judgement.
- Beregond: '<name>? Yes, I am ready.
- 'I left my post without permission; three men of Minas Tirith I slew in my haste to come to Faramir's aid. I will rue the deed evermore, but I did not know what else to do!'
Objective 4
- Wait until the king calls for your report
King Elessar must weigh the issues facing Gondor and make his pronouncements.
- Beregond says, "I am ready to face the king's judgement, <name>."
- King Elessar says, "Beregond, you have been brought here to be judged for your crimes."
- King Elessar says, "During the battle for the city, you left your post without leave."
- King Elessar says, "You drew your sword and spilled blood in the Hallows, which is forbidden."
- King Elessar says, "In Gondor of old, the penalty for these crimes was death."
- King Elessar says, "Do you understand?
- Beregond says, "I do, my king."
- King Elessar says, "But I deem that the penalty will be countered by your valour in the recent battle."
- King Elessar says, "So too is it outweighed by this fact: your misdeeds were done for the love of the Lord Faramir."
- King Elessar says, "No more can you be a Guard of the Citadel. No more can you stay in Minas Tirith."
- King Elessar says, "So must it be, for you will dwell now in Emyn Arnen."
- King Elessar says, "There you will be Captain of the White Company, the Guard of Faramir."
- King Elessar says, "You will dwell with him in Ithilien, in honour and in peace."
- Beregond says, "Thank you, my king."
- Malthengil says, "I call <name> the <class> to report on the situation in Mordor."
- Completed:

- King Elessar: 'Tell me what has transpired in Mordor since your last report, my friend.'
