Hands of the King

It has been one of my conceits that wherever he went, Aragorn left some cleansed of the psychological ties to Mordor, ready when Mordor was finally fallen to seek to return their folk to the Light once more. I like that one of the Faithful is Steward in Umbar, and that he came to offer Finduilas his fealty and thanks for what she and Denethor saw sent to that land in the wake of the destruction there.
And Aragorn's visit! Ah, I'm glad he made it, even if he would not stay longer. At least she is reassured before she herself goes on--it's merely three more years or so she has left within the Bounds of Arda.
And the powers conspire to support her while it's still possible. Three of the Maiar wish to care for her and her family, and two former Maiar seek to watch, one apparently desiring her for what she represents to him. Sauron is a wretch, and we see Grima still developing fully into the Worm we love to disparage. He made his bed with Saruman--but to lie in it was in the end grievous even to him.
