![]() ![]() So King Eärnur's death left his steward Mardil in charge of the kingdom of Gondor until the heirs of Elendil should return to the throne. Obviously, the line of Isildur was busy running around in the forest being Rangers (until Aragorn, that is). With the death of King Eärnur, the line of Anárion was lost. King Eärnur was lord of Gondor, but he was childless when he went to war and never came back. Anárion left an heir, Meneldil, whose sons ruled Arnor until the end of that kingdom in the north (for more on these complicated descent lines, check out our "Character Analyses" in The Fellowship of the Ring learning guide). King Eärnur is the last of the line of Anárion, Isildur's brother. All we know is that Faramir and Boromir have this guy as a dad. We don't get much sense of what he is like in The Fellowship of the Ring or The Two Towers. Denethorĭenethor is the Steward of Gondor and current Lord of that kingdom. They have been true allies of Gondor ever since. In exchange, Cirion ceded to the Rohirrim the fields of Calenardhon, which is now called Rohan. When the Rohirrim rode to help Gondor in battle on the Field of Celebrant, they drove out the enemies of Gondor who had occupied their northern provinces. Cirion the Twelfth Stewardĭuring the days of this Steward of Gondor, the people of Gondor made an alliance with the Rohirrim (and specifically, with Eorl the Young). ![]() At Ceorl's news, Théoden makes the decision to ride to Helm's Deep to relieve Erkenbrand. CeorlĬeorl is the lone Rider who comes to inform the Eorlingas, Théoden's host of troops, that all of the remaining forces of Rohan have been marshaled in the fortress of Helm's Deep by Erkenbrand of Westfold. He builds Meduseld, the Golden Hall at the center of Edoras in Rohan. For more on Beren and his lady-love Lúthien Tinúviel, see our "Character Analyses" in our The Fellowship of the Ring learning guide. This is a reference to Tolkien's own larger mythology for Middle-earth, as contained in the Silmarillion. Sam makes a passing reference to Beren when he reminds Frodo, "Beren now, he never thought he was going to get that Silmaril from the Iron Crown in Thangorodrim, and yet he did" (4.8.61). Anborn is also the one who catches Gollum by the nape of his neck and ties him up, awaiting Faramir's decision about his life. Anborn is the one who watches over Gollum with his arrow nocked when Faramir is arguing with Frodo for Gollum's life. He reports to Faramir that they have not been followed by orcs on their way to Henneth Annûn, but there is something strange tailing them, "like a shadow on the ground, and it whisked behind a tree-trunk when I drew nigh and went up aloft as swift as any squirrel could" (4.5.94). Anborn, like Mablung and Damrod, is another of Faramir's troops. ![]()
