Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who told his troops, "A new power is rising. Its victory is at hand."

Answer: Saruman

Saruman spoke these words from the balcony of his tower. He was addressing thousands of his orcs who were mustered below, ready to march against the people of Rohan.
2. Who told Aragorn, "You ride to war but not to victory."

Answer: Elrond

This was not the most inspiring thing Elrond could have said. He then went on the explain that a fleet of Corsair ships were sailing from the south, and that they would arrive at Minas Tirith within two days. He told Aragorn that more men were needed, and when Aragorn said there were no more men, Elrond suggested 'those who dwell in the mountain'.
3. Where was Aragorn when he gave the speech that included, "...An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight!"

Answer: Outside the Black Gate

The men of Gondor, and of Rohan, had ridden to the Black Gate in the hope that their presence would distract Sauron, and thereby divert the Dark Lord's attention away from Frodo.
4. Who shouted, at the beginning a battle, 'Abandon your post! Flee! Flee for your life!"

Answer: Denethor

Denethor had just viewed Sauron's army, which was gathered on the Pelennor Fields. Denethor's men were not inspired by his order. They actually looked very confused. Gandalf, who didn't like the command at all, used his staff to hit Denethor three times, and then shouted some more worthwhile orders.
5. When did an orc leader give the order, 'Form ranks, you maggots! Form ranks.'

Answer: When he saw that the Rohirrim had arrived at Pelennor Fields

Soon after, the Rohirrim began their charge. Though the orcs fired a volley of arrows that bought down some of the riders, they didn't stop the charge.
6. Who said, to a frightened boy, "There is always hope."

Answer: Aragorn

The boy was Haleth, son of Hama. The boy told Aragorn, as the people of Rohan waited for battle, that the men were saying that their situation was hopeless. The movies do not make it clear if Haleth, whose father had been killed in the Warg attack, survived the Battle of Helm's Deep or not.
7. Who said, when he was told that they couldn't defeat the armies of Mordor, 'No, we cannot,' then proudly added, "But we will meet them in battle nonetheless."

Answer: Theoden

Theoden made this comment while his army was gathering at Dunharrow. The statement wasn't up to Theoden's usual standard of encouragement. I put this down to the fact that he was tired, and disappointed that not enough men had turned up.
8. Who shouted the following at the beginning of a battle, "A sword day... a red day... ere the sun rises! Ride now... Ride now... Ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending!"

Answer: Theoden

Theoden was addressing his six thousand men, just before they made their charge at the Battle of Pelennor Fields.
9. Who said, "Now is the hour. Riders of Rohan, oaths you have taken. Now fulfill them all. To lord and land."

Answer: Eomer

This was said, as the Rohirrim were leaving Edoras to go to Minas Tirith, in 'The Return of the King'.
10. When did Theoden say the following "Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath. Now for ruin. And the red dawn!"

Answer: Before he, and the few surviving men, rode out from Helm's Deep to meet the enemy

The men had decided to meet Saruman's army head on, so that the women and children might have a chance to escape.
