Changes

The hobbits were separated when Merry went with King Théoden and Pippin went with [[Gandalf]] to [[Minas Tirith]], capital of Gondor. At Minas Tirith, Pippin met the Steward [[Denethor]], and entered into the service of the city as member of the ''Guards of the Citadel''. Later he witnessed Denethor being driven to despair and madness, finally moving to burn himself and his feverish son [[Faramir]] at the Tombs of the Stewards in Rath Dínen. Pippin ran to get Gandalf, who was able to save Faramir but not his father. Pippin was present at the ''Battle of the [[Morannon]]'', where he was able to slay a troll to save the life of his friend Beregond, before being knocked unconscious.
