One-Time Themes
Parting Shot
This theme is used when there are references to the decay and possible rebirth of Gondor. If the Gondor theme represents Gondor as it is today, the purely military power, then this theme represents the Gondor of the past, the spiritual power — culture, learning, nobility.
