The Highest Civilian Rank in Classic

Quote

Seek for the Sword that was broken:
In Imladris it dwells;
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than Morgul-spells.
There shall be shown a token
That Doom is near at hand,
For Isildur's Bane shall waken,
And the Halfling forth shall stand.

Boromir's rhyme in The Fellowship of the Ring, "The Council of Elrond"
