The Coronation of ElessarThird Age 3019

Aragorn is crowned King Elessar on the plain before Minas Tirith. Gandalf sets the White Crown upon his head, and Aragorn speaks the words of Elendil: 'Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien.' At the city gate Arwen awaits him, and they are wed at last — the union of the lines of Elros and Elrond, long sundered.
