Any forces non-essential to the garrison will move with haste to follow the legions marching out to reinforce Osgiliath. The moment any of the forces of Rohan reach the area, they will be directed to attack Ithilien.

Presumably the messenger in Arnor also arrives.

"I need to see the ruler of these lands. A message from the Empress of Gondor." The ambassador from Arnor is reccievd, and searched before he is admitted to see the King. "I thought it might interest you to know that Gondor has no Emperor, or King, for that matter." "Oh, really? I have not heard much news from the south, I would appreciate it if you'd enlighten me on recent matters concerning the war." "Almost all of the fiefs declare themselves "Kings", but none hold Minas Tirith. Gondor has an Empress now, Aragost's heir. I thought it might interest you to know that Ioreth got somewhere." "Hmm. Most interesting."

"I suppose you've arrived here because you want something. Do not waste either of our time, and tell me what that is, exactly." Shoot. Didn't notice you'd replied, sorry.

"The Empress requires help. She is not of the view that Gondor should be so separated from Arnor, and seeks a closer relationship, both ways. Sadly, however, there currently stands a fairly large rebellion threatening the sovereignty of Gondor over its fiefs. We don't really want to admit it, but, we need as much help we can get. Even the fewest soldiers you can send would be appreciated." "What do you mean, a closer relationship? Her predecessor is the man that chose to dissolve the Reunited Kingdom." "Many of his policies were unfavourable. She does not believe that it was ever wise to dissolve it." "So, Gondor chooses to divide itself from the North, and now when your hides are in danger, you come crawling back to me, asking for aid? What does the independent Kingdom of Arnor gain from this?" "We understand entirely how precarious a situation we stand in. However, should we succeed, it will not only help political stability everywhere, but it will also prevent any further challenges to your own sovereignty. If anyone can claim to be a King without any right at all, the situation is dire. I will admit, our own situation is not much better, but Ioreth is a much better Queen than any of those fools ever would be. This isn't about Gondor, this is about much more. And those rebels won't stop at Gondor." "I understand your concerns. These insurgents threaten the natural order of both of our realms. I'll assume you'll want military assistance?" "I'm sorry it has come to this, but yes. We need as much as we can get." "My concern is about the spread of the plague that has infected the south. By the grace of Eru is had not touched our lands yet. I would not have my people fall to another plague like the one that devastated Carndolan and all of our kingdom." "With all due respect, Your Grace, I doubt that will be a possibility." "Pardon?" "These aren't things anyone can easily control. Who knows where it'll spread?" "Therefore, We are more likely to combat the infection by remaining exactly where we are. Although I sypathize with your plight, I must put my own people first."
