![]() ![]() Frodo didn’t know.įrodo recalled a map made before Sauron took over Mordor. When they weren’t sleeping, Sam was thinking of food and asked Frodo how much longer they had to go. Though the darkness created by Mount Doom had lifted, the skies were the darkest of grays, and they didn’t lighten until long after sunrise.Īs usual, they hid during most of the day, and slept for much of that. Sam and Frodo walked all night, though the going was slow. (“It was difficult and dangerous moving in the night in the pathless land…” Book Six, Chapter 2 – The Land of Shadow) But let’s get to that now because there’s a bit more going on that we need to talk about. Even for Sam and Frodo there wasn’t much. Even Tolkien skipped this day (Chapter 10 literally starts with the phrase “Two days later…”). Our plotline with Gandalf, Aragorn and basically everybody who isn’t Sam, Frodo or Gollum, is a day of readying the army for a march. ![]() Strange as this might seem so close to the end, this is a very light day.
