Part 3/8:
When Boromir passionately asserts at the Council of Elrond that it is through the blood of his people that the lands of others are kept safe, he speaks a deep truth—it is a harsh reality that many neglect to consider. Geographically, Gondor’s cities, particularly Minas Tirith and Osgiliath, are strikingly close to Mordor, which places them on the frontline of a looming war. If Gondor were to fall, it would not be long before other realms like Rohan, Rivendell, and even Lothlórien would face the same fate.
