AMON HEN

Boromir, proud Captain of Gondor and eldest son of Denethor, is a fierce warrior torn between duty to his city and the seductive power of the One Ring. Driven by a desperate wish to protect Minas Tirith and save Gondor from Sauron, his bravery and ambition lead him to the Fellowship — and to a tragic struggle with temptation that ends in both a fall and a moving act of redemption at Amon Hen. His story touches on honor, pride, family, the corrupting influence of the Ring, and the cost of sacrifice in the fight against darkness.

After Gandalf's fall in Moria, the Fellowship reaches Amon Hen and unravels under the weight of the One Ring and human frailty. Boromir's temptation and attempt to seize the Ring forces Frodo to choose secrecy and solitude; Sam follows in loyalty. Merry and Pippin are captured by orcs, while Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli strike out in pursuit, setting a hunt that stretches toward Rohan and Gondor. This breaking reshapes destinies across Middle-earth, spawning new quests, tests of courage, and the long march toward Mordor.
