"The wise speak only of what they know, Grima son of Galmod. A witless worm have you become. Therefore be silent, and keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a serving-man till the lightning falls."
-- Gandalf |

Character Bio:
17th King of Rohan, and the last
of his line. Theoden was withered under a spell of Saruman, through
the evil counsels of Grima Wormtongue, but revived by the counsels
of Gandalf in the year 3019. He then rode to Gondor, and fought valiantly
in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. The arrival of the Witch-King
startled Theoden's steed, Snowmane, and she threw Theoden. Hitting
his head upon a stone, Theoden soon died, and Eomer became King of
the Mark. Theoden was instantly charmed by Merry, taking him into his service
as a swordthain, and listening to his stories and songs with great
joy.
