** Even [[spoiler: Talion's fall]] is heartwarming in its own dark, twisted way. [[spoiler: The Witch-King, who had previously welcomed Talion home to Minas Morgul as a brother, only for him to run the Nazgul off and steal the city from them, arrives and places a hand on his shoulder, assuring him that his struggle is over and that together, they will turn towards Gondor. Talion nods, and dons the wraith-armor of the Nine, walking away with the Witch-King.]]

** Another is a beautiful necklace. Idril's narration states that when she was a young girl, she'd sneak into where it was kept, and taking advantage of a faulty lock, took it out and wore it, pretending to be a noble woman of Gondor. Her father caught her one day, but only gave her a calm lecture. Idril suspects that the reason why he was so calm and even-tempered was that he was secretly delighted to see his daughter happy.

* The GoldenEnding, which is both awesome and heartwarming. [[spoiler: Talion holds on to his humanity and uses his Ringwraith abilities to hold back Sauron and his forces for decades before finally succumbing to his ring’s pull on him, but his sacrifice was not to be in vain, as while he delayed the forces of evil, the rest of Middle Earth recuperated and regained their strength to face Sauron and pull off the win in the War Of The Ring. And after Talion is finally killed by a lava bomb from the exploding Mount Doom when Sauron is finally defeated, he gets what he was desperate for after all these years: a chance to be with his family. He sets aside his weapons, unstraps his armour, and walks to the afterlife with a smile on his face. [[EarnYourHappyEnding He’s got his happy ending at last, and by Eru, he’s earned every last bit of it.]]]]
