“Rumor says he is deadly with a bow.”

“He is.” Once again Boromir’s great smile filled their tent. “Beleg would be sore pressed to defeat him.”

I forgot to say that reminded me of the other one where Elrond gave Faramir that bow.
Mayhap what Boromir says is true, but there might be a slight brother bias.

Oh! This was his last thoughts?
Interesting Boromir, here.

…And Théodred was right.
Boromir was nearly right too.
Back to the beginning:
FRIENDSHIP indeed.
As for the swords (and this depends what time it was and how old they were), surely Faramir bears one as well as Éomer. Or possibly, (here depending on the time and age), Éowyn might even wield one better than Faramir. [If one were so build to suggest that.] Refutation exists here though (and proof for Faramir bearing one as well as Éomer): Éowyn thought Faramir was a Man whom no Rider of the Mark could outmatch. …But I guess Éowyn could be biased to the Faramir side instead of the Rider side.

Anyway, I wonder what would have happened in terms of friendship if all those four had survived unscathed. (or even if all but Éomer had been mortally wounded unless Aragorn called them back).

hmmmm—hooom!
(pun accidentally started then intended)
I agree with you until it comes to the orcs. Then it sounds like Fangorn. Maybe the movie is influencing me. But I guess if he came from Ithilien that would explain some things.

Still funny.

PS: Is this a repeat of chapter 63? It seems so to me, but I may be wrong.

Powerful. *Moment is Silence*


About those four Men who were targets of Sauron: Éomer and Faramir were spared by Aragorn’s aid (Éomer by keeping promises, Faramir by healing—and technically prophecy/promises), but it could be argued Aragorn’s choices gave chance for Sauron to end Théodred and Boromir. Because Aragorn chose to go to Lothlorien and stay there for a month, Saruman had time to gather his forces and attack Rohan; same with Sauron and Gondor and the River. Not to mention the Fellowship being protected in Lorien, Boromir may have lessened his guard (internally and externally). But also it was by Aragorn or Gandalf that they did not go through the Gap of Rohan in the first place, if they had, they would have been in time to help Théodred.
—But scratch that last at least, bad things might have happened.
Also, because the Fellowship was where it was when Boromir fell, the orcs went through Rohan, and Éomer went there and met Aragorn. (For reference Éomer heard of the descent of the orcs into Rohan on the 26, on the 27 about midnight he leaves to hunt them against ‘Théoden’s’ orders.—I was going to add Théoden would have let him, but on the other hand, assuming they knew Théodred was dead, and for his love of him, he might not have.— On the 28 Éomer overtakes them, and he attacks at sunrise on the 29th. Unrelated, the 29th is when Boromir’s boat passes Faramir.)
So I guess it really isn’t Aragorn’s fault. But now you all have my thoughts at the moment.
As it is, Aragorn saved the lines through the 2nd heir.

Awwww a letter. From Sam! Poor Frodo.

FimbrethilReviewed Chapter: 67 on 8/12/2025
Awwwww. But he is wrong, Faramir does love him, at least according to you.

Im’hil is definitely butchered. That would be sad for his sister’s husband. Though if Hurin is related to Denethor, one of his sister’s bore at least one son.
Here is an idea: Did Denethor have any younger brothers?

FimbrethilReviewed Chapter: 66 on 8/12/2025
Oh my goodness. But how does he have a cousin who is not a king of Numenor? Oh, I guess if Inglor is related to Finrod or Finarfin they would be some sort of cousins—or great relatives.
How has it come to this indeed?

This again! It is QUITE hilarious! I have read the last few before somewhere, I guess.
