GHOST ARMY* Summoned to Fight- Lord of the Rings

The Dead Men of Dunharrow or Oathbreakers, were Men of the White Mountains, cursed to remain in Middle-earth by Isildur after they abandoned their oath to aid him in the War of the Last Alliance.

In the War of the Ring, Isildur's Heir, Aragorn, called on the Dead Men to fulfill their oath and be free.

ÉOMER* The Riders of Rohan- Lord of the Rings

[marksellers]

A promise given. An oath kept. Honor restored. Rest and peace granted.
A beautifully encouraging story.

"An elf go underground when a Dwarf dare not? ...I'd never hear the end of it."
I love the development between Gimli and Legolas through the films.

[rvoyles]

This is one of the shining examples of why Aragorn is kingly in his actions and deeds. He honored his promise to them.

[QUINTUSMAXIMUS]

I loved how without a question, Aragorn let them go in peace as he promised. I give you my word.

[rocha]

The way he said go, be at peace. Was so sincere, the ghost army was so relieved to hear those words

[naturespipes]

When I was a kid and saw the ghosts running into battle, I actually jumped and cheered. My grandfather laughed. Grandma's told me to calm down. So many memories.

[taintwasher]

I like how Aragorn insists on being at the front of the army even when they are invincible

[CaptainFirebolt]

The absolute swagger of Aragon as leaps off the ship and steps forward to face the Orc army, love it!

[badkittynomilktonight]

The citizens of Minas Tirith witnessing Aragorn's appearance while commanding the Army of the Dead was a key element in the acceptance of him as Isildur's true heir.

[MrPikachu]

This is probably the most OP army ever. They cannot die, they travel fast across land/water/air, they have large numbers, they can move through solids and they have intelligence.

[subbywan]

Aragorn actually holding true to his word and not trying to keep them to help in the next fight is honestly one of the things that stood out for me about him and his honor. So many otherwise would have tried weaseling their promise. And never as a king/general "with what army?" cos they just answer "this army" 😂

[tsunami]

I love when bad guys say that line. If you see few men defiantly standing in your way telling you to leave, never ask “you and what army?” It never ends well

[diabloimmortal]

" They will answer to the King of Gondor!" This scene give me chill. One of the most iconic !

[frankrault]

The relief on the face of the king of the death (after having fulfilled his oath) is utterly convincing and moving!

[emiryenere]

The coolest scene of the series for me when he shows up and says ‘’ we fight’’

[jakeydeefpv]

I've Watched this trilogy a thousand times and I'veyet there's two little words that every time I hear them spoken I get GOOSEBUMPS... "We Fight".

[Thecommander]

For those who don't know the lore, the ghosts' oath was to protect Gondor's interior, not fight outside of it. Their oath was fulfilled. If Aragorn tried to keep them to fight outside of Gondor's borders, they could have cursed Aragorn like they were cursed since he would be breaking his part of the oath. At the time of the first war with Sauron, the one these guys were going to fight in, Gondor's borders reached Mordor, but they no longer do. On top of that, Sauron specializes in controlling the undead. Wraiths and ghosts included. He is the Necromancer. Taking them there to fight Sauron would have been a bad idea for a lot of reasons. They would have fallen under Sauron's influence.

[mistertaz]

So many people in the comments going "Just make them wipe out Mordor no problem" please keep in mind that the Oathbreakers were ghosts. Sauron specialized in necromancy and dark magic to control the dead (thats why the Nazgul and Barrow Wights deferred to Sauron). Bringing an army of spectres to Mordor would have been suicide because the moment they were close enough, Saurons magic would easily subvert their will and have them slaughter the armies of Man. What Aragorn did was use his brain and his honor instead of going "Lets bring undead to fight against the guy who specializes in controlling the undead". One of Saurons many titles was The Necromancer after all

Very well edited. One of my favorite lines in the film, "You will suffer me!"
