Finally!i've searching for this thread even before i join the forum!
Now,maybe at the time minas ithil is besieged,gondor's atention was diverted to somewher else.could the corsair maybe distracting gondor while the nazgul attack?with the plalantir,ithil could communicate with the king,but if they do not know what attacking them,the king's answer maybe 'hold on,we are curretnly busy.we will send troops as fast as we can'.but then,the king and the steward forgot it,and then its too late.
Ah,im so happy now that i found this thread.
PS: old thread get really long,much longer than the new one,isnt it?
