A dread passage beneath the White Mountains connecting Dunharrow to the vale beyond. The Dead Men who broke their oath to Isildur haunt its darkness. None had dared enter for centuries until Aragorn, as Isildur's heir, rode through with Legolas, Gimli, and the Grey Company, commanding the Dead to follow and fulfil their ancient pledge.

Figures: Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, the Grey Company, the Dead Men
