Of Gondorians and Rohirrim... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Thanks Might. It looks as if we were typing our response at the same time. I'm just a little slow this morning.

Any way, here is my post.

We all know that Cirion and Eorl met at the site of Elendil's tomb and there Cirion gave Calenardon to the Rohirrim and together they took the Oath of Eorl. What did Cirion do at that time that was not done at any other time during the entire Third Age?

Call Eru as witness of his oath?

Legate, what are you? That took 3 minutes! I was hoping that I could get half a day out of this.

The thread is yours.

Good question... but I am not going to tell you... mwa ha ha...

But you'll have chance to post something else if your reply to this:

Whose reign was not much appreciated, and his son left the country as soon as he reached maturity?

I believe that would be Fengel. It was his son Thengel who left to live in Gondor due to a disagreement with his father.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-07-2007, 02:10 PM

Correct! Your turn.

Sorry for the delay. I was away for the weekend, and then couln't come up with much worth putting in. Even now, this one should be pretty easy.

The Argonath marked the northern border of Gondor (at the time of their construction). Each statue had the left hand held palm outward in a "stop, don't go any further" motion.

Who did each statue represent, and what did the right hand of each statue hold?
