What if Eowyn had snuck into the Paths of the Dead and followed Gimli?
Merry would have been left in Edoras, Eowyn might have made it through the Paths, might have not, and Eowyn might have been banished form the ships at Pelargir, maybe not, and she would have come too late to the battle to slay the Lord of the Nazgul, and without Merry it might not have happened anyway, and she wouldn't have been wounded by a Morgul blade or breath (i forget which it was) and would not have met Faramir and no wedding and on and on...
