Oh, boy... I'm guessing that the speaker is either Merry or Pippin. I was thinking Pippin's Elven brooch, but I don't think that a Hero of old ever used it... Then perhaps Merry's barrow-sword, but I don't think that Theoden died with greed on his tongue; it sounds more like Denenthor, but he's not a king! Maybe the Witch-King?
I was thinking that the woman would be Eowyn, who was nearly lost at the Pelennor Fields. Aragorn's arrival could be the hope of all (Estel could also be hinting toward this), and the shadows would probably be the darkness that was hanging over Gondor. Wow, this is so tricky!
Namarie,
