The adviser returns to Cair Andros and informs Eradan that the rebels have agreed to an alliance. The defensive soldiers begin taking their stations.

At sunrise, the hosts of Ithilien are gathered in the city square, the Atmoran forces nearby. Along the streets leading to the gate, the people stand awaiting their Lord and the armies. When the sun is above the balcony, Eradan and the highest ranking men in Ithilien emerge. Eradan begins his speech.

"Good men of Ithilien! Long have you suffered because of the Crown of Gondor, even in these days of freedom. But I say to you, no more! No longer will we suffer because of their foolish and arrogant queen, no longer will we be slaves to their might. Nay, they are hardly mighty anymore, contrarily, it has never been weaker! Today, we march with our brethren against Gondor! Today, we march for our freedom, and for the glory of Ithilien! Today, Ithilien will prove itself to the world! I say to you, great warriors, let us march forth upon Gondor, and secure our nation once and for all!"

All of the soldiers cheer. Eradan and the Captains of the Ithilien Rangers and the Ithilien Infantry depart from the palace to join the others, while the Captain of Cair Andros stays behind. In the streets, Eradan rides horseback before his army, accompanied by his two captains. As the army marchers through the streets, the people cheer for their Lord, nation, and military. They emerge from the city with Atmora's armies behind them, and begin their march to the location of the other rebel nations. Wait, did you take Osgiliath? I'm confused. I took out the bridge so they couldn't come across. Eradan wouldn't take Osgiliath until he knew the plague killed them all off. Ah, so where's the speech taking place? And how do they cross the anduin? Or are you in Cair Andros? The speech was in Cair Andros (which Pat named as Ithilien's current capital), but they left by now. Okay, that makes sense.
