“And thus a Fourth Age of Middle-earth began. The Fellowship of the Ring, though eternally bound by friendship and love, was ended.”

A closing line from the end of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, placed over the film's final images. It appears during the epilogue as the characters depart and the story moves into a new historical era. The phrasing ties an official ending to a sense of lasting bonds, making the moment feel both conclusive and quietly sorrowful.
