Eowyn, old age, rides out defying arthritis,
leading the household's soldiery and servants to
fight the flooding of a village at Anduin's
shores (a small tributary coming down from Emyn
Arnen has risen due to melt water spring floods)
which has sprawled over the limits set for
security due to a recent massive influx of
settlers. Faramir is away to Mordor's north to
settle a conflict between Easterlings and
Ithilien settlers. Describe her thoughts during
the ride or describe her organization of the
rescue. Please describe her as the Lady of
Ithilien.
Rosie is resistant to giving her firstborn a
strange Elvish name -- until Sam explains to her
what Elanor means... and the beauty it represents.
Frodo, baby sitting toddler Pippin at Bag End,
must keep the child calm and entertained during a
thunderstorm.
Somewhere in Hollin, Gandalf tells Boromir
something about Faramir that Boromir never knew
before.
Pippin and Gimli share the watch one night -- what do
they talk about?
I would love to see the King arriving at Pippin's
first celebration as Thain. Oh boy . . . would
that be a party!
Eol's forging of Anglachel.
Eldarion's first official act as king after Elessar's
death.
The first meeting of Tarannon and Berúthiel and her
cats
Among those kneeling to the hobbits at the
coronation is Elrond. Elrond hasn't knelt to
anyone since the First Age, when Gil-Galad -- who
perished in battle with Sauron -- was his lord
and king. What are his thoughts?
Where did Frodo get seven signatures in red ink
for the will he left behind when he went to the
Havens and left everything to Sam?
Faramir unlocks the treasury of Minas Tirith for
Aragorn, and the new king realizes the wealth at
his command... and how it can best be used for
the good of the city and its people.
"Many of the characters married late, or chose a
spouse their parents didn't approve of. Write a
conversation between a parent and child about
their choice of whom to marry, or their refusal
to make that choice."
