Silmaril Ah yes, Boromir...

Well, we Boromir-fans are not as alone as we think! Just look around here, on the Downs itself, and you'll find more fans of this great, admirable human.

I like Boromir because:

- He is very brave. He is willing to do anything for his country, his people, his kin.

- Something I also find important: he is loyal. To his friends, family and people. And loyalty can be very hard to find in our world, these days.

- He appears, compared to many characters of the book, much more human. This makes him more recognizable, and thus, easier to love.

- Not unimportant, he was good looking.

- He is a man of Gondor. Though my loyalties used to be with Rohan, it has now shifted to the brave people of Gondor. And who can represent them better then their soon-to-be Steward?

- He has power and many men at his command. For many people, this is attractive...

- He is usually honest.

- Oh, and of course, he isn't afraid to show emotion!

and even the book states that women found him pleasing to look at.
Oh really?!?! (*_*) Were?? Were can I find that?

Do the wave for our favorite human, 'Steward' and disco king!

Aethelwine.
