Nov 7:  Memorial (Minas Tirith, Fourth Age 83 (Gondor Reckoning))

Elessar stood on the balcony that overlooked South Ithilien and let his grey gaze roam over the richly coloured landscape that lay beyond Anduin.  Oaks, beeches and elms had shed their summer green, making the many white towers that Faramir had built in Emyn Arnen stand out sharply in counterpoint.  It was Elboron who reigned there now, gravely following in his father’s footsteps. 

The king re-entered the throne room, coming to a halt before the white-clad body that lay in state before the White Throne.  “I miss you, my Steward, ” he whispered, “my good and faithful servant.  My friend.”
