===Summary===
'''The Departure of Boromir''' is the first chapter of the first book in ''[[The Two Towers]]''.
The camp having been attacked by [[Uruk-hai]] in ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', [[Aragorn]] finds [[Boromir]] mortally wounded.  Before Boromir dies, he tells Aragorn that the Orcs have carried off the other [[Hobbits]]. The remaining members of the party (Aragorn, [[Legolas]], and [[Gimli]]) search through the bodies of dead Orcs and find many weapons, as well as the blades of [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry]] and [[Peregrin Took|Pippin]].  Because they do not have time to bury him or build a cairn, they put Boromir's body on a raft and set it out to sail, Legolas and Aragorn singing a beautiful [[Lament for Boromir]], taking the voices of three of the winds.


Aragorn tells Gimli and Legolas that he thinks [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] and [[Samwise Gamgee|Sam]] have gone alone to [[Mordor]] and that they themselves should follow the Orcs and not Frodo. So saying, these adventurers continues on their journey, travelling in search of their missing companions.
