‘Men of Gondor hear now the Steward of this Realm! Behold! one has come to claim the kingship again at last. Here is Aragorn son of Arathorn, chieftain of the Dúnedain of Arnor, Captain of the Host of the West, bearer of the Star of the North, wielder of the Sword Reforged, victorious in battle, whose hands bring healing, the Elfstone, Elessar of the line of Valandil, Isildur’s son, Elendil’s son of Númenor. Shall he be king and enter into the City and dwell there?’

bullet With Hope and Without Hope by docmon Last Updated: 9/2/2008
NOMINATED 2008 MEFA Awards! One decision made differently--the Three Hunters run through that second night of their chase after the Orcs rather than rest--and everything changes. Well, not everything. They're merely captured like Merry and Pippin. One decision changed doesn't change one's destiny, however. Reaching the fate destiny has in store for them is a bit peskier, though... There's action, adventure, suspense, a bit of angst, and hopefully an enjoyable story for all. NEW CHAPTER POSTED!

bullet No by Antane Last Updated: 8/30/2008
"All this last day Frodo had not spoken, but had walked half-bowed, often stumbling, as if his eyes no longer saw the way before his feet. Sam guessed that among all their pains he bore the worst, the growing weight of the Ring, a burden on the body and a torment to his mind." A glimpse into that torment. The Red Book is very briefly quoted/paraphrased from within the story.

bullet My Sword Trembles - Book Three - 'My Sword' Series by Agape4Gondor Last Updated: 8/29/2008
Parts one (My Sword Sings) and two (My Sword Weeps) of this AU are archived here at Stories of Arda. An AU tale of life for Faramir and his aunt and Regent, Indis. Continuation of the "My Sword" saga. It is really not necessary to read the other two books first, but it's a good read (IMHO) and not difficult. Not sure who all will show up as this progresses.
