Borne swiftly upon Asfaloth's back, Arwen Undómiel rides for Rivendell, the home of her father Elrond and Frodo's last hope. Racing against time for the life that ebbs from the Ringbearer's pierced and poisoned body with each hoof beat, the Elf maid makes for the Ford of the Bruinen with the Nine at her heels!

Arwen's pursuers are no ordinary riders robed in black, but the Nazgūl, the Ringwraiths, Sauron's greatest servants, lead by the malevolent Witch-king whose jagged morgul knife drew the Hobbit's blood, its tip breaking off to worm its enchanted way towards his heart. Only in Rivendell and by her father Elrond's arts can his life be saved, if only she can reach the watchful water at the borders of his realm in time. One of the most menacing encounters with the Black Riders, the scene gets the adrenalin pumping in The Fellowship of the Ring.

Painted by Gus Hunter - long time Weta conceptual designer who started on The Lord Of The Rings trilogy along side Jeremy Bennett and was an early adopter of the digital painting techniques Weta uses today.
