Il y a le serment passé entre les montagnards et Isildur pendant la dernière Allliance des Elfes et des Hommes à la fin du 2è age qu'ils n'ont pas tenudans un premier temps...
...et le serment imposé par Isildur par suite de leur trahison :
Citation :‘But the oath that they broke was to fight against Sauron, and they must fight therefore, if they are to fulfil it. For at Erech there stands yet a black stone that was brought, it was said, from Númenor by Isildur; and it was set upon a hill, and upon it the King of the Mountains swore allegiance to him in the beginning of the realm of Gondor. But when Sauron returned and grew in might again, Isildur summoned the Men of the Mountains to fulfil their oath, and they would not: for they had worshipped Sauron in the Dark Years.
...et le serment imposé par Isildur par suite de leur trahison :
Citation :Thou shalt be the last king. And if the West prove mightier than thy Black Master, this curse I lay upon thee and thy folk: to rest never until your oath is fulfilled. For this war will last through years uncounted, and you shall be summoned once again ere the end.”
