The Guard's Choice

The choice of Beregond, Captain of the Third Company of the White Tower, is much overlooked. His judgment is the King Elessar's first ruling of many. In the dark days of the Siege of Gondor, Beregond must endure a war of his own, between head and heart. With the Lord Faramir injured and the Lord Denethor consumed by madness and grief, Beregond must choose whom to obey and whom to turn away from. With the armies of Sauron encroaching on the Pelennor, he doesn't have much time.

Here lies the record of days leading up to the choice of the Tower Guard during the Siege of Gondor, in the last days of the War of the Ring.
