And that that use in 1973 was, quote, possibly their last use until more than a thousand years later as the War of the Ring approached.
Yeah, and that makes sense.
I mean, there were no more stones in the north after 1975 when Arvidvi perished in the Bay of Forochel.
And of course, he had held the stone of Amansul, which we'll learn next week was actually the primary stone of the north, as well as the stone of Anumanus.
Exactly.
It wasn't connected to the others, so to speak.
That's why the text doesn't say there was no stone left in the north.
It was that there was no answering stone left.
And of course, Arvedui's death was in Third Age 1975, and it was only 27 years later when the stone at Minas Ithil was lost when the Witch King captured that city.
That's right.
Now, I can see you counting on your fingers from here.
Amon Sul, Anuminus, Amenberaid, Minas Ithil, Minas Anor, Orthanc.
That's six, but I thought there were seven.
Correct.
The text here doesn't say it, but the stone of Asgiliath was lost in the river more than 500 years before all those other losses.
That was in 1437 during the Kin Strife.
Especially big heavy stones that are probably so large that a man can't move it.
You'd think that would just sink straight to the bottom and embed itself in the riverbed.
It's not going to float down to the sea.
These things don't float.
