22) Legolas’s last arrow and a great boulder, cast from the outer wall above
23) As priest-king he renewed the worship of God (The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien, letter 156, p. 206) – “…It later appears that there had been a ‘hallow’ on Mindolluin, only approachable by the King, where he had anciently offered thanks and praise on behalf of his people; but it had been forgotten. It was re-entered by Aragorn, and he found a sapling of the White Tree, and replanted it in the Court of The Fountain. It is to be presumed that with the reemergence of the lineal priest kings (of whom Lúthien the Blessed Elf-maiden was a foremother) the worship of God would be renewed and His Name (or tittle) be again more often heard. But there would be no temple of the True God while Númenórean influence lasted.”

25) The Westmarch from the Far Downs to the Tower Hills (Emyn Beraid)

29) “twelve days from here to the Ford of Bruinen” in his own words.
