Re: The tears of Boromir

While threre is little reason to think they would be able to tell he was the captain of the Dunedain of Gondor, by sight or smell. He would have stood out [his clothes were described as rich , but travel-worn so he would not appear as your average Dunlending,Breelander or homeless wanderer, he was clearly a noble going from one place to another and since all major realms of Men were against Sauron in some fashion he would I think be seen as a red flag.

As for the journey up the Mountains as opposed to the roadway it seems he might have commented on this as he headed through Eregion w/ the company. 'I was here a few months ago and indeed there were birds and animals' or some such.

Now that I thinkabout it, Boromir not having encountered rangers in Eriador would be strange[asssuming he took roads past Tharbad] where Rangers would also be watching I would imagine. They were supposedly guarding Eriador, greanted though the Nine created a bit of chaos w/ their regular patrols, this should have heightened watch if anything.
