Aragorn then called to the Army of the Dead to fight, which resulted in a short battle. Rumors of the Army of the Dead had already reached the city but the Corsairs whom the Company had been pursuing turned at bay and laughed, seeing only Aragorn and his host of live Dúnedain warriors, as the dead were hanging back behind them to surprise their foes. On the fifth day they reached their destination (Pelargir), where the main fleet of Umbar was assembled. For four days and nights after Aragorn first summoned the dead to the Stone of Erech, they rode. The only person who had the courage to stay was Angbor, the Lord of Lamedon, and Aragorn told him to gather his men and follow the Grey Company to Pelargir.
Even the Men of Umbar and Harad, who had been attacking the fords at Linhir above the mouth of the river Gilrain, stopped fighting and ran off in terror. As they went through the lands of Gondor, they found them deserted, since everyone who hadn't gone to war fled the approach of the dreaded "King of the Dead". Īragorn led the Army of the Dead through Lamedon. Summoning them to the Stone of Erech, Aragorn commanded them to fulfill their oath and be free. In the War of the Ring, Isildur's Heir, Aragorn, called on the Dead Men. Malbeth the Seer prophesied that a day would come when need and haste would drive one of Isildur's heirs to take The Road under the Mountain, and that the dead would answer to his call. They slowly started to dwindle and the terror of the Sleepless Dead came about to all the places where they lingered. Therefore, they fled from the wrath of Isildur and dared not go forth to war for Sauron, and they hid in secret places in the mountains and had no dealings with other men. For this war will last through years uncounted, and you shall be summoned once again ere the end. And so Isildur cursed them saying: Thou shalt be the last king, and if the west prove mightier than thy Black Master, this curse I lay upon thee and thy folk to rest never until your oath is fulfilled. However, during the dark years, they had worshiped Sauron, and so when the time came and Isildur asked for their aid, they refused.
From the North shall he come, need shall drive him: he shall pass the Door to the Paths of the Dead." - Malbeth the SeerThey were once Men of the White Mountains, but at the founding of Gondor, they swore an oath to Isildur that they would fight for him. Whose shall the horn be? Who shall call them from the grey twilight, the forgotten people? The heir of him to whom the oath they swore. The Dead awaken for the hour is come for the Oathbreakers: at the Stone of Erech, they shall stand again and hear there a horn in the hills ringing. The Tower trembles to the tomb of kings doom approaches.
