Gandalf asked for the terms of their surrender, which were to allow Sauron dominion over Isengard and Rohan, as well as Gondor's vassalage. The Lieutenant then brought forth several items that had belonged to Frodo and Sam (Sam's sword, an Elven cloak, and Frodo's Mithril shirt). He reasoned that the Army of the West could not defeat Sauron's host on the battlefield, and demanded the Army surrender. At the head was a high servant of Sauron, a Black Númenórean called the Mouth of Sauron, who had been ordered to speak with the Captains of the West. Aragorn dismissed the faint-hearted, ordering them to liberate Cair Andros on the river Anduin, further reducing the strength of the army.īefore the battle began, the Black Gate opened slightly, letting out a small embassy. Then, as the army approached Dagorlad, some of the farmers of Lossarnach and Rohan were too afraid to continue into the Desolation of the Black Gate. Part way through Ithilien the army was ambushed by Haradrim and Easterlings, but they were easily detected by the Rangers of Ithilien and driven off with few casualties.

Sauron was defeated but he still had thousands of Orcs and evil Men at his disposal in Mordor.
