Gondor is about to be invaded by an army from Mordor. Faramir and his Rangers are responsible for patrolling the border in Ithilien. Anyone not from Gondor found wandering around in Ithilien is viewed with suspicion as a Mordor spy. Letting such a person go free instead of capturing him and bringing him home to be interrogated is tatamount to treason. Therefore, Faramir, who believes Frodo and Sam's unlikely story, is committing a capital crime by helping them get to Mordor. <P>-Lily
