Part 9: Dunharrow
Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) muster what forces they can at Dunharrow, though it's less than half of what they expected.

But first, we dig into its real life inspiration, the Beacons of Theophilos of the Byzantine Empire, and why the Byzantines are great framework for thinking about the kingdom of Gondor!
