"You must set off at dawn, for we have made our choice, and the tide of destiny is surging."

Galadriel

As members of the Fellowship of the Ring, and with their allies who have stood up for them, you must embark on a journey in which the fate of Middle-earth rests in your hands. In this shadow-shrouded world, every choice you make will pave a new path.
The threads of fate are intertwined; the destiny of the free people depends on your courage, friendship, and determination. Will the One Ring be destroyed in flames, or will the Ringbearer lose himself in despair?

"This is not despair, because only those who see the outcome and are convinced of it fall into despair. We are not like that. It is wisdom to recognize inevitability after weighing all other options. Even if it may seem foolish to those who cling to vain hopes."

Gandalf
