Timeline: Fourth Age (bookverse)
------
Kingdoms and nations fell, yet Treebeard still remained. Bregalad, always so hasty, had grown old too quickly, and now he seldom shook off slumber's ennui. Skinbark's fate had claimed too many.
The men had grown bolder. The second-born had always had need of wood and cared little for trees; now they built stronger bows, and arrows meant for each other missed their mark and pierced an ent's bark. Beechbone had died that way.
Treebeard exhaled heavily and shook the topsoil from his roots. With so much lost... was it now time to take the hunt back up?
He started north.
