East lies the Greenwood, and the shadow which has fallen on it; West lie the lands protected by the Lady Galadriel, a wood that is nonetheless beleaguered on several sides by encroaching enemy forces.

While passing beneath the golden boughs, ​Makanárë cannot help but remember flashes of memory - another forest, protected by different and yet no lesser enchantment that this one, and the drawing of steel beneath the ancient boughs. She knows Ráolor too is not free of this burden  - for who cannot escape from such an event without scars?
