After a long and fair time at Minas Tirith, the hobbits wanted to depart and also wanted Éomer, the new king of the Rohirrim, and Elrond and Galadriel and Gandalf also. There was a grate procession and they everywhere became smaller. The left Éomer in Edoras and Galadriel in the high of Moria (for they wanted to cross the mountains) and at last they left Elrond at Rivendell. On their way between Moria and Rivendell they encountered Saruman, who had been allowed to leave Orthanc and Grima Wormtongue was with him. The hobbits rested a long time in Rivendell and remained at Bilbos'. After a long time they journeyed towards the shire.
