You may walk our roads, #, but you have not yet earned our trust.
The North is rising, but not with strangers at its helm.
To command the Rangers, you must prove your loyalty to the Northern realm.
The Dúnedain do not follow those whose heart lies elsewhere.
You seek our strength, but have you stood watch in our wilds?
Arnor needs leaders who bleed for its cause, not those who merely pass through.
We remember betrayal, #. We must be certain of your allegiance.
The road to trust is long in the North. You’ve only taken the first step.
Even Elendil proved himself in exile. What have you done for this kingdom?
Our swords are not for hire. They serve Arnor’s purpose alone.
Show us your heart is true. Then we may call you brother.
You may be brave, but bravery alone does not earn the loyalty of the Dúnedain.
We’ve rebuilt from ashes, stone by stone. We need more than words to stand beside us.
Our captains follow honour, not ambition. Where do your loyalties lie, #?
The North has suffered too long to be led by those unproven.
When your deeds speak for you, not your tongue, we shall talk again.
