Glory (Théoden)
"Gone out in a blaze of glory"
All he ever wanted was to be a successful king, managing to keep his lands and people. He counted himself as lesser than his forebears, and felt confident in the knowledge that his descendants would also surpass him. This notion was reinforced as he failed to protect them, watching men and horses falling side by side on the battlefield, all because of his own weakness. He never knew that, as he died, crushed by his own faithful steed in battle with a creature of evil, was that he was always considered to have gone out in a blaze of glory.
