As for you, Frodo, in so far as lies in me
It's from The Lord of the Rings.
‘Then I will declare my doom,’ said Faramir. ‘As for you, Frodo, in so
far as lies in me under higher authority, I declare you free in the
realm of Gondor to the furthest of its ancient bounds; save only that
neither you nor any that go with you have leave to come to this place
unbidden. This doom shall stand for a year and a day, and then cease,
unless you shall before that term come to Minas Tirith and present
yourself to the Lord and Steward of the City.
1> I can't understand the conjugation of the verb "lies" in the second sentence.
Since it seems that the subject of the sentence is "you", instead of "Frodo"
Which one is the correct subject of this sentence?
[As for "you", in so far as "lies" in me under my authority, ~~]
2> I couldn't look up the word "doom" as in the context of this novel in modern dictionary. Does it just mean the new rule(regulation) applied to individual temporarily?
3> So the rule of Faramir is that Frodo is "free" to come to this place(Gondor) only when he is allowed(have leave/ unbidden)?
Thank you!
