 | | Even the dark and gloomy forest of Taur-im- Duinath offered them little respite from the assaults of their foes, for werewolves, Wargs, demon cats, and other fell beats roamed the woods and sought them out. |
 | | Maglor and Elrond led the people as quickly as possible along the low hills of Ramdal, and then they made a dash south to Taur-im- Duinath, but even so, the going was slowed by those like Gimli, who had been tormented and maimed by Sauron. |
