Рождённый умереть

| Congratulations!!! You are Denethor. |
| Denethor II (2935-3019), the twenty-sixth and last Steward of Gondor, is far more well-known than his predecessor and namesake. Proud and headstrong, he valued the safety of Gondor above all else, but in 3019, he almost betrayed the Stronghold of Minas Tirith to the enemy. Some justify Denethor by claiming that he was not in his right mind at the time due to grief: his eldest son, Boromir, had died, and his youngest, Faramir, was near death. Furthermore, it is argued that Denethor's physical and moral strength was weakened by the constant struggle against Sauron through the Palantír of Minas Tirith. Of course, all of this cannot be ignored, but an unbiased historian cannot help but condemn Denethor for his cowardice. A true ruler does not abandon his people to their fate. Let us not forget that, had it not been for a fortunate coincidence – in the form of the hobbit Peregrin Took, who managed to warn the wizard Gandalf – the despairing Steward would have ascended the funeral pyre along with his youngest son, who could still have been healed (as Lord Elessar did shortly thereafter). |
