Yes, this indeed would be a reminder of grief and loss to our beloved Steward.

This represents well what Faramir probably went through for months or years after the war - running into reminders of Boromir everywhere he turned, making his home a living Hell. Another reason his title to Ithilien was a fitting gift.

Author Reply: Thank you for your kind reviews! It is hard to imagine him staying in the Citadel. Too many ghosts--his father and brother would be constantly before him. The violent and shameful circumstances leading to their deaths would make it all the more difficult to bear.

Great vignette! I loved the detail about Boromir's pauldrons, the armorer's pride in his work, and the realization that just as Boromir won't return, he won't make anything that good again. And poor Faramir; knowing it too and missing his big brother.
