WHERE WAS GONDOER WHEN THE WESTFOLD FELL?! Here is finally the answer!

King Théoden and the legendary question. So where was Gondor when the Westfold fell? It should be noted that he most likely does not mean the geographical location, as we assume that the King of Rohan has already seen one or two maps of Middle-earth. Especially since Théoden even grew up partly in Gondor.

But seriously: His frustration definitely had a background, after all, Rohan had been overrun and pillaged by Isengard. Rohan and Gondor were allies for many years. Was the alliance really that broken?

The answer lies in the political and military realities of Middle-earth: Gondor had its own problems at this time. Sauron’s forces massively pressed the northern border as well as the eastern border, at which time Mordor already had Oscillationthe former metropolis, conquered. Ithilien, where Faramir fought with his rangers, was also beset by the Haradrim, orcs and people from Rhûn.

The White City prepared for the inevitable battle, suffered from it Denethor’s weak leadership and that Fehlen Boromoirs. Rohan and Gondor may have been allies, but at this stage of history each was forced to join forces where it was most urgent.

So in short: Gondor itself was in such distress that it couldn’t help Rohan.
