Besides, Saruman stole our Holy Hand Grenade, and who knows? We might run into the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog!

In LOTRO, it was known as the Great Alliance at the time and only later renamed to the less morale-boosting version.

Shortened to simply, "The Alliance."

Legolas: I thought the Fellowship was the most recent alliance of Elves and Men...

There's a reason he's not included in this conversation; Aragorn would have another headache trying to figure it out in between dwarf-tossing logistics.

LEGOLAS: what about MY alliance with you?

ARAGORN: *rubbing his temples* technically isn't an 'alliance' more than just one person?

The best part is I am reading back through the LotR books. Just started the first one after the election and now I am certain that both Tolkien and Jokien will be a balm in this time haha
