I find it difficult to see a Borondil putting himself out like that on Day One, whether accidentally or with intent. I like to think we still have Elendil with us.

Though, if he were Elendil, his oh-so-famous post makes a whole 'nother level of sense: Elendil specifically telling his Dreamer how to tell him the role of the Dreamed.

EDIT: xed with tp.

Not to mention, specifically telling the Dreamer who *he* is.

EDIT: xed with Zil.

I did not specify which gifted it is and I am not planning to. I do not believe "drinking water" refers to either of the gifteds' gifts, and neither should you. The narration does not hint at the role, and is not supposed to - so I'm warning all of you now, before you all get crazy about some detail there and start arguing if it's Isildur or Elendil or Anarion: the story in the narration is irrelevant to Boro's role, so don't try to look for clues and hints in it.

Bleh. Since he was weaponless I assumed not the Ranger and since he drowned I figured "Isildur in the Anduin".... but apparently not.

So in other words- possibly Elendil is dead?

Well double crap- actually that makes some sense then. I just realized....

IF Boro assumed that the KMs would logically gun for Elendil until he was dead, then perhaps the safest thing to do would be to hint that you were a dreamer, because then it's a guarantee that you aren't Elendil!

Ugh...

Okay- I'm going to reread a bit...

Question: If Elendil dies, does his dream still come through since it's not actually him dreaming?

Possibly.
