Минас Тирит
Despite his immediate success and popularity, Aragorn decided to lay aside his claim to the throne for the time being. To avoid conflict, he left Minas Tirith and refused to enter it again until he was crowned King. To give Frodo the best chance of fulfilling his quest, Aragorn led an Army of the West from Minas Tirith to make a diversionary feint on the Black Gate of Mordor in the Battle of the Morannon. Sauron attacked with overwhelming force. At that moment the Ring was destroyed, and Sauron and his forces were utterly vanquished.
