Summary

Description "Knight of Swords" from The Hobbit Tarot

A warrior of Laketown prepares himself for battle with helmet, shield and spear. In the background we see the lake itself, and in the distance what might be the approaching Goblin army and Wargs. But the warrior shows no fear. This man might have been on duty the night the Dragon Smaug was roused by the intrusions of Bilbo Baggins. He would have seen the fires issue forth from the Dragon’s mouth, as it left its lair and came forth angry and determined to wreak vengeance upon the people of Laketown. That time, as the Dragon’s attack was known, the alarm was sounded. Then the warning trumpets were sounded, and echoed all along the shores. Every vessel in the town was filled with water, every bow and arrow brought forth also. So, Smaug did not encounter the people of Laketown completely defenseless upon his arrival!
