Minas Tirinth has fallen, and the surviving forces of Gondor have fled eastward. Up in the north, the elven strongholds in Lorien and the Woodland Realm are holding, but the Northmen and Dwarves just don't see why they should get invovled in the fight! Plus, I can't get those stupid hobbits to go anywhere. They're the grey figure, just through the pass. Sarumon is quiet, after a huge fight at Helm's Deep destryed most of his force and the Rohan.
