Elcarion receives a letter, from the Emperor himself. It demands that:

- the Reunited Kingdom fork over all of Enedwaith and most of Harondor and Gondor

- the Empire is to be given a massive sum of money

- the Emperor's grandson is to receive a bride from among his daughters.

- it then informs him that if he does not comply, half of his citizens will be enslaved, and the nation will be left with just barely enough wealth to survive. Elcarion, approached by two offers, both to steal his daughters and hand over his kingdom, denies the request. May the war begin.

Elcarion rallies all the men of Gondor to the borders. They're twenty-thousand strong. Rohirrim send two thousand troops. The Druedain send two hundred. Five hundred rangers and the entire Grey Company come too. And last but not least, fifty Tauredain, two hundred Dorwinion, fifteen high elves, and five hundred dwarves of Erebor.
