| Ah, but an excellent use of the prompt! With both Faramir and Aragorn, Gondor will be well ruled. | |

| Re: Beregond. While it was his plight ("dead man walking") that first caught my attention, it was when I tried to get to know him better by rereading his initial meeting and extended conversation with Pippin that I really came to appreciate him deeply. In that conversation, JRRT deftly paints his curiosity, eagerness to learn, open-mindedness, practicality, hospitality, courtesy, courage, loyalty, and unquenchable hope. (Now I'm wishing all over again that JRRT had written more about this particular Man...) So if you'd like to get to know him better, my suggestion would be to reread the last half of the chapter called "Minas Tirith" in The Return of the King. | |

| Ah, yes. Beregond described slaying the porter as a madness of haste was on me, and he would not listen, but drew sword against me. His soldier's reflexes likely took over, considering the adrenaline that must have been running through his veins at that moment. That death must have haunted him all his days, despite having saved his beloved Captain. Thanks for this glimpse into his thoughts! As I've mentioned before, Beregond is at the top of the list of my favorite Men from LOTR. Author Reply: Thank you! I think Beregond did act with adrenaline in this crucial moment. I do not write Beregond much and have some tough time thinking about his importance but i'm glad you found this intriguing- i would like to explore him post Quest a bit too if he allows me. Thank you for your thoughts! :) | |
