The House of Healing

Summary

Merry, Eowyn and Faramir are carried to the city of Gondor for healing. Denethor is dead, and so is Theoden.

Aragorn asks for the herb "athelas", also known as kingÂ’s foil. The people of Gondor do not use this herb, but since it grows wild in the forest they retrieve it. Aragorn heals them all and the news spreads quickly, because prophecy has always foretold that the rightful king of Gondor possesses the art of healing.
