Good opinion galadriel'smaiden! It is very plausable s no laughing from me.

With Denethor and his attitude toward Aragorn out of the way, it was up to Faramir to challenge Aragorn's authority, being the new rtuling Steward. he didn't of course because he was a man of good character, and he surely could "feel" that Aragorn was heir of Elendil, with his renown in leading men in battle, the service of the oathbreakers, and his healing knowledge being observed and spoken about.

A 'what if..' scenario is if Boromir had lived and became ruling Steward after the war...

So Sauron was Aragorn's "stooge" to bring about Denethor's demise?

There is a thread, either here or in N&N, speculating on what would have happened re Aragorn's claim if Denethor had survived ...

Edit: Here it is.

Cool! However, I think the what-if of Denethor surviving and the what-if of Boromir surviving leads to two different and interesting alternate scenarios.
