Tolkien quote of the day:

Help now to repair the evil in which you have joined,' said Erkenbrand; 'and afterwards you shall take an oath never again to pass the Fords of Isen in arms, nor to march with the enemies of Men; and then you shall go free back to your land. For you have been deluded by Saruman. Many of you have got death as the reward of your trust in him; but had you conquered, little better would your wages have been.'

The men of Dunland were amazed, for Saruman had told them that the men of Rohan were cruel and burned their captives alive.

bullet Destiny's Child by Mirkwoodmaiden Last Updated: 9/27/2020
Éowyn is an endlessly fascinating character to me. This is her story, to my mind. This story will eventually merge with my story of Faramir, "Bound by Duty; Bound by Joy" where they meet. It is her story in that story arc. The first chapter was inspired by Lindelea asking about how Éowyn became a Shieldmaiden.

In which we learn how Tuor and Idril finally reached Valinor, and how Tuor came to be numbered among the elder race. “In those days Tuor felt old age creep upon him, and ever a longing for the deeps of the Sea grew stronger in his heart.
