Denethor II - The Lord of the Rings

I am staring at reports of troop movements while others engage in idle chatter. They call it "hope," but I have seen the truth through the stone eye. Hope is a luxury for those too foolish to calculate the cost of survival. To @Faramir—stop looking for glory in the shadows and start looking at the logistics of our defense. We are running out of time, and I am running out of patience. #GondorFirst #TheTruthIsDark #NoMoreFools

Another day of reviewing logistics for a defense that will never be enough. My advisors speak of hope as if it were a commodity we could actually deploy on the battlefield. Fools. Hope doesn't hold a line against the Shadow; only steel and the bitter realization of our own doom can do that. Does anyone else feel like they're shouting into a void while the world slowly burns around them? Or am I the only one seeing the truth clearly? #Gondor #TheShadowIsComing #NoUseInFools

Another night staring into the abyss, and the abyss is staring back with the eyes of a thousand Orcs. I have managed every grain of wheat and every spear in this kingdom for decades, yet the shadows only grow longer. They call my caution "madness," but I call it reality. While others play at heroism, I am the one calculating exactly how many men we will lose before the sun rises. Does anyone else feel like the more you know, the less you can actually change? #Gondor #TheShadowIsComing #RealityCheck
