"It will happen tonight. The Dark Lord lies alone and friendless, abandoned by his followers. His servant has been chained these twelve years. Tonight, before midnight... the servant will break free and set out to rejoin his master. The Dark Lord will rise again with his servant's aid, greater and more terrible than ever he was. Tonight... before midnight... the servant... will set out... to rejoin... his master..."

В принципе, "friendless" относится и к ситуации "друзей больше нет", и к ситуации "друзей нет и никогда не было", а вот покинут Тёмный Лорд был только "последователями".
