the line of elros ≋ princes of dol amroth ≋ headcanon disclaimer

          In fighting with his father Angharas in the Battle of the Poros, Aglahad received a grievous wound in his hip and was near to death. At the insistence of Angharas, he was borne not to Minas Tirith but back home to Dol Amroth, where his mother Nîlubêlî, a gifted healer, treated him personally.           After great suffering and many sleepless nights, Aglahad eventually recovered, though he could never again walk without support. This was offered gladly by his wife Karasaphêl, a kind-hearted woman who would sing to him on the days his pain grew too much. She was no elven minstrel, but Aglahad loved her voice so dearly that he swore she eased his pains with only a simple melody.           Though he could no longer ride to war, Aglahad sent his son Angelimir to aid in the evacuation of Ithilien, then under assault by the Uruks of Mordor. Alongside the warriors of Ithilien and the Steward’s son Turgon, Angelimir aided in the construction of many secret outposts and refuges, including Henneth Annûn, and saw the formation of the Rangers of the South.           Eventually Angelimir returned home to his wife Minalzôrî and their son Adrahil II, named for Adrahil the father of Imrazôr. His rule would not be one of peace, for Sauron declared himself openly and renewed his attacks on Gondor, but Angelimir was valiant in resisting the Shadow for all his days.

[Princes of Dol Amroth] were a family of the Faithful who had sailed from Númenor before the Downfall and had settled in the land of Belfalas, between the mouths of Ringló and Gilrain, with a stronghold upon the high promontory of Dol Amroth (named after the last King of Lórien).

Aragorn and Eowyn are closer related than Aragorn and Arwen

Human genetics travel. They seriously get places, especially when we factor in that so elusive female line.

Eowyns maternal grandmother is a Dunedain lady named Morwen of Lossarnach, afterwards the Queen of Rohan. She is from an elite Gondorian family, the cadet branch of the Princes of Dol Amroth. The same family Denethor's wife Finduilas hails from.

Seeing that aristocratic families often marry within the same elite social circle, it is almost positive that at least royal princess married into the Dol Amroth family. Also that a Dol Amrothian lady is a direct forbear of the Gondorian line of kings.

Aragorn is descended from the Gondorian royal house from Princess Firiel daughter of King Ondoher about 14 generations ago. To put this into perspective you are 15th cousins at the least with the most distantly related member of the same ethnicity as yourself. And 50th cousins at most remove with the least related to you human on the planet.

Within Firiel is the genes of most of Gondorian aristocratic houses. It does not matter for instance if her mother was from Dol Amroth or if her grandmother was one of a pair of sisters who married into the Royal house and the House of Dol Amroth respectively. Or if Firiels first cousin was the forbear of the lords of Lebennin for instance, and a daughter would eventually wind up as Morwen's maternal or paternal foremother. Simply due to the exponentially large amount of ancestors every individual has and the massive amount of generations between Aragorn and these forbears. So that makes Eowyn and Aragorn at least 15th cousins if not closer. Their shared common ancestor probably lived 1300 years ago. Compare this to Aragorn and Arwen who's common ancestors Elwing and Earendil had their children about 6 millennia ago.

Also Faramir and Eowyn are 5th cousins at most.

Faramirs mother Finduilas, and Eowyns Grandmother Morwen are from the same family, the Princely house of Dol Amroth, though Morwen's father was not the Prince but a younger son of the line. Morwen and Faramir' grandfather Adrahil are contemporaries. The impression is they are not first cousins, but much further distant the prestige of association with the house would fade. So I would place Morwens grandfather as the you get brother of Aglahad, her father as first cousins to Angelimir. Morwen herself as second cousin to Adrahil, and their respective grandchildren as fourth cousins. Maybe fifth cousins if you want to add another generation of separation. At any rate the relationship was close enough that Prince Imrahil acknowledged Eomer as a kinsman.

Bergon goes home

by what_katy_did_1234

Bergon is really fed up with Gondor’s Embassy to Harad, and cannot wait to go home. He’s convinced that insanity follows his colleague Thorongil, and the fact that this journey home involves giant spiders, shotgun weddings, and inappropriate flirtations just seems to confirm it. Could Bergon’s life get any more annoying? It seems that it could.

[morwensteelsheen]

Okay also some Morwen ones because (laughably) I still haven’t actually written anything about her yet.

“Kin to the Princes of Dol Amroth” is, like, a loosely true interpretation of the facts: her grandfather was Aglahad’s second son (Abrazimir 1), who married the daughter of a middling lord of Lossarnach (Gelrohel 2), and settled along the Anduin-coast side of Belfalas.

They had a son, Rílothon, who moved to Imloth Melui in Lossarnach and there wedded the daughter of its lord, Megilien.

Megilien and Rílothon had two children, Mesgrîn and Morwen. Mesgrîn became the Lord of Imloth Melui (through matrilineal descent, thanks Númenor!!), and Morwen married Thengel, son of Fengel, and became the Queen of Rohan.

Thengel was living out his self-imposed exile by serving the steward Turgon, which basically meant a lot of gallivanting about the place not doing an enormous amount, because the world was strangely calm during Turgon’s rule. Part of this Hard And Serious Deployment was a trip to Pelargir where, coincidentally, Morwen was staying with her maternal aunt.

They met, and Morwen was impressed with Thengel’s history as an Actual Warrior (aka the kill count he racked up in Rohan before he fucked off to Gondor); she had been raised in Gondor to think very highly of warriors, but hadn’t really been around anyone who’d seen actual action given the whole calm-before-the-storm environment she’s living in.

They marry and have five (no, this is not a joke, canonically it is literally five!) children, including Théoden and Théodwyn. Théoden and their eldest daughter, Théofled, were born in Gondor. Théodwyn was the first child born in Rohan, after Fengel died and Thengel was recalled to the Mark. There were two subsequent daughters.

Morwen’s reticence towards learning and using the Rohir language was as much about practicality as snobbery—she was educated and fluent in Westron and both classical Gondorian (ie. Minas Tirith’s) Sindarin and the Belfalan, Silvan-informed Sindarin. More on that here.

Her “Steelsheen” epithet came not because she was particularly unique in her mannerisms, but because Fengel had been such a fucking nightmare even a literal tornado would have looked calm in comparison. Still, she got the Steelsheen title early in her reign, and basically made a meal out of it.

She was well keen on Thorongil when he came to Rohan, but had a basically jealous/territorial streak and, after all the work she and Thengel had to do to restabilise Rohan after Fengel’s multi-decade meltdown, she began to worry that Thorongil was too well liked.

Thengel disagreed, and was basically right, but it does form a common theme in Thorongil’s early career—Finduilas of Dol Amroth and Denethor, son of Ecthelion II would also be wary of Thorongil when he passed through Gondor.

Sorry to end on a bummer but: Morwen died of breast cancer in TA 3000, twenty years after Thengel died. Éowyn, then, really only grew up with the legend of her grandmother, not the woman herself.

1 — “Abrazimir” is an Adûnaic name meaning “steadfast jewel.” This is partly a pisstake on the dumb mistranslation of Faramir’s name as…that.

2 — “Gelrohel” is a Sindarin name from “Roc”, meaning horse, “gell” meaning joy, and the feminine suffix “–el”. This is also a pisstake— Éowyn’s name translates as “horsejoy”.

          Asdihil was the sixteenth Prince of Dol Amroth. He wed Lady Lômihirî of Lossarnach, who bore him four children: a son, Aglazôr, two daughters, Rûkhilî and Karasindil, and another son, Imrahad. In his ninetieth year, Asdihil and his sons were called upon by Steward Beregond to defend the White Mountains, where orcs fleeing their war with the dwarves had recently established themselves. Asdihil led a valiant attack, flushing many orcs out of the dales, but was laid low by a poisoned arrow. Aglazôr and Imrahad carried him back to Dol Amroth where he died surrounded by his family.           Grieving the loss of her beloved husband, Lômihirî found she could no longer bear the sight of the sea and removed herself to the land of her birth. With her were her two youngest children, Karasindil and Imrahad, though Aglazôr took up his inheritance with the aid of his sister Rûkhilî and his wife Gimilzâirî, both wise counselors. In Lossarnach, Imrahad found love and happiness with the maiden Azrurôth, who had never before seen the sea whose name she bore. Imrahad was glad to bring her to his home and wed her in his brother’s castle, though after their marriage they returned to Lossarnach to raise their children.           The eldest of these was Nilûzôr, a man of great cheer and confidence who expressed his true self at a young age by refusing the title of “little lady.” Nilûzôr wed the mason Ûrîbatân, a quiet and gentle soul, and bore him one child, a daughter by the name of Minluphêl. She became a scholar, often visiting the libraries of Minas Tirith and Dol Amroth, where she befriended her cousin Prince Aglahad and married one of his retainers, Abralêth, who returned home with her to Lossarnach.           Minluphêl and Abralêth’s son Aglazagar was, despite his fearsome name, a man devoted more to cultivating the beautiful flowers and orchards of his home than he was to war. Still, he took up his sword when the need arose, and for his valiance in battle defending the new outpost of Henneth Annûn, Steward Turgon named him the Lord of Lossarnach, now a fiefdom in its own right. Aglazagar wed Zimrupânî, a handmaiden of Turgon’s wife Mírdholen, and together they had two children: Arnubên and Morwen.           Arnubên was in many ways unlike his father, delighting in contests of strength and eagerly meeting Gondor’s foes in battle. His husband Hiruzîr was no less valiant, and the only thing that took him from the field was the birth and rearing of his son Forlong, raised by his fathers to be a mighty warrior. Arnubên’s sister Morwen was an iron-willed woman with an interest in politics. She often visited Minas Tirith, and it was during her residency there that she met Prince Thengel of Rohan, an honorable young lord whom she quickly grew to admire. In time they were wed, and when Thengel was called back to Rohan upon the death of his father Fengel, Morwen returned with him as his Queen. The Rohirrim loved their Gondorian queen, naming her Steelsheen for her grace and pride, and from her line sprung many of the greatest heroes of the Riddermark.

          Aglazôr was the son of Asdihil, and the Seventeenth Prince of Dol Amroth. He came into inheritance after his father died fighting orcs in the White Mountains, and after routing the remaining orcs he was blessed with a rule of peace. His wife was Gimilzâirî, a deeply spiritual woman who sought meaning in the stars, and together they had many children.          The eldest of these was Angharas, Aglazôr’s son and heir. In his rule, trouble once again stirred in Gondor, and when Sauron sent the Haradrim to cross the river Poros and attack the land thereabout, Angharas rode to battle with Steward Túrin II and King Folcwine of Rohan. Though the battle was won, Folcwine’s twin sons Folcred and Fastred were slain, and Angharas’ heir Aglahad was grievously wounded, though he survived. Under the tender care of his wife, the healer Nîlubêlî, he eventually recovered, though he would be forever marked by his injury.

PRINCES OF DOL AMROTH

Note: The names of most of these characters come from Adûnaic, but after using a lot of Adûnaic in the Royalty of Númenor section of this project, I was running out of vocabulary to use. Instead I repurposed the fragments of the (often untranslated in canon) Adûnaic names canonical to the House of Dol Amroth and scoured through this Adûnaic dictionary for other words that might be useful. For untranslated words, I made a guess based on the meaning of the word or a similar word in another language, which I excuse because Adûnaic is sort of a language cobbled together from a bunch of other languages.

Following is a brief glossary of the terms I used to make most of these names. If a name element does not appear here, I probably borrowed it from one of these namelists.

GLOSSARY adra || “crossing” || meaning derived from Gnomish adros (related to Sindarin athrad) agla || “brilliant, glorious” || meaning derived from Adûnaic aglar alêth || “city” || canonical meaning ang[a] || “iron” || meaning derived from Sindarin ang / Quenya anga asdi || “hope” || a canonical Adûnaic word of unknown meaning; I made up its meaning batân || “road, path” || canonical meaning êluk || “past” || a canonical Adûnaic word of unclear meaning; I derived its meaning from Adûnaic tâidô, meaning “once, then” and supposedly a later form of this word had || “to hurl” || meaning derived from Sindarin hador, “thrower” hil || “son, child” || meaning derived from Sindarin [c]híl, “heir” hir || “lord” || meaning derived from Sindarin hîr imra || “valley” || meaning derived from Sindarin imrath karasa || “red” || canonical meaning limir || “chain” || meaning derived from Quenya limil rûkh || “to shout” || canonical meaning zâbath || “humble” || canonical meaning zâira || “yearning, longing” || canonical meaning zôr || “fire” || canonical meaning

Adrahil I ft. Adrahil I, Zâbathasdî (OC), Imrazôr The history of Dor-en-Ernil is mostly canon. Adrahil’s involvement in Ondoher’s campaign is canon, but his fate in that conflict is unknown, and everything after his retreat to Ithilien is headcanon. Tolkien Gateway has a footnote I find somewhat amusing that emphasizes that we don’t know For Sure that Adrahil was Imrazôr’s father, because even though all the dates line up for that to be true Tolkien never explicitly said that, soooo..... I think there’s no reason he wouldn’t be Imrazôr’s father, but I guess it’s canonically possible he’s not.

Imrazôr ft. Imrazôr, Mithrellas Nimruphêr, Galador, Gilmith Amroth’s story is canon, though we don’t know that it specifically was Imrazôr who named the hill after him. All we know about Imrazôr and Mithrellas is their origin story about Mithrellas being lost in the woods and Imrazôr finding her, and that after Mithrellas bore Imrazôr two children she disappeared into the night. I’ve seen lots of varying interpretations of this story, including some where Imrazôr forced Mithrellas to marry her, but in my opinion nothing in the text confirms that theory. We don’t know for sure that Gilmith and Galador are twins, but since they were born in the same year and elf pregnancies are usually exactly a year long I think it’s the most likely scenario. Mithrellas is said to have left after her children were born, which usually I see interpreted as right after their births, but again nothing in the text says her departure was immediate so I think it makes more sense that she stayed until they were grown, at least. Galador does become his father’s heir (see the next edit) but we know nothing else about Gilmith, so their differing fates (mirroring Elros and Elrond’s) are entirely my headcanon. A while back I made an edit about Gilmith and Mithrellas reuniting, if you want to check that out (though I did go with the “Mithrellas leaves immediately” version of events there).

Galador ft. Galador, Zadnazîrî (OC), Minlubên (OC), Inzilkaras (OC) The distinction/transition between Dor-en-Ernil and Dol Amroth is never explicitly described in Tolkien’s work, but since the land was not called Dol Amroth until after Amroth’s rule (during Imrazôr’s reign) and Galador was the first prince of Dol Amroth specifically, I think my version of events fits into canon. He was not the first prince of his line, rather the first prince of that specific place-name. Everything about Galador’s choice of mortality and his reasoning behind it is headcanon. His wife, naturally, is unnamed and thus entirely my own creation. Here we get to the first of many “unnamed princes” - we know how many there were between Galador and the next named lord (Aglahad), but nothing else about them save the dates of their lives and rule. Which is still more than we know about the Lords of Andúnië!

Balakân ft. Balakân (OC), Avradizimril (OC), Zâinabên (OC), Imralêthî (OC), Angahil (OC), Abrazân (OC) Everything here is entirely my own invention. I realized after making this edit that the line of Dol Amroth was “unbroken” between Galador and Imrahil, meaning there was no uncle to nephew inheritance like this, but tbh that’s a minor detail I’m not fussed about contradicting.

Abrazân ft. Abrazân (OC), Zâirahirî (OC), Bawbuthôr (OC), Karbazîrî (OC), Avalôzîr (OC), Narakarî (OC), Gimlibên I (OC), Asdiphêl (OC), Zôrahad (OC), Agathilî (OC) All the events that occur in this edit are canonical, but everything to do with the involvement of anyone from Dol Amroth is my headcanon. All information about the Princes and their family is my own invention.

Alêthir ft. Alêthir (OC), Zâbathinzil (OC), Karsalimir (OC), Adrabatîna (OC), Gimlibên II (OC), Zimrasdî (OC), Rûkhir (OC), Batânaglar (OC), Zâirêluk (OC), Ûrîzôrî (OC) Same note as previous. Don’t worry, we’re getting back to semi-canonical stuff soon! The name “Karsalimir” is derived from “karasa+limir”; I shortened the first element for a better flow of the name. Adrabatîna’s name is glossed as “fortunate meeting” but literally means “crossing paths.”

Karazôr ft. Karazôr (OC), Zâiralêth (OC), Asdihil (OC), Lômihirî (OC) The 15th and 16th Princes did canonically die early; the 15th Prince was “slain by the Corsairs of Umbar” and the 16th was “slain in battle.” We don’t have specifics on either event, so an isolated skirmish with the Corsairs is plausible enough for the 15th Prince’s demise. The 16th Prince died in 2799, the same year as the end of the War of the Dwarves and Orcs that sent orcs fleeing to the White Mountains in southern Gondor, so while there is no proof I think it’s likely that is the conflict in which he perished. Karazôr’s name comes from “karasa+zôr”; again, I’ve shortened the first element for aesthetic purposes.

Aglazôr ft. Aglazôr (OC), Gimilzâirî (OC), Angharas (OC), Nîlubêlî (OC) The Battle of the Poros happened during the rule of the 17th Prince; it is conceivable he and his son would have fought in that conflict, but all information about them is entirely headcanon. Once more I have messed with the word “karas” as a name element: Angharas’ name comes from “ang(a)+karasa,” but in pushing those two elements together Angakarasa becomes something like Angharas.

Aglahad ft. Aglahad, Karasaphêl (OC), Angelimir, Minalzôrî (OC), Adrahil II Finally we get to actually canonical characters!! Although we don’t know anything at all about Aglahad or Angelimir other than their names and the usual dates. This is the time Ithilien was deserted and Henneth Annûn was founded, though Angelimir’s involvement is entirely my own speculation.

Adrahil II ft. Adrahil II, Branniel (OC), Ivriniel, Finduilas of Dol Amroth, Denethor II, The basic details of Finduilas’ story are canon, though I have embellished a bit (including Imrahil’s resentment of Denethor). Everything about Adrahil, Branniel, and Ivriniel is headcanon.

Imrahil ft. Imrahil, Malleneth (OC), Elphir, Erchirion, Amrothos, Lothíriel All of Imrahil’s deeds are canon, though they have been somewhat embellished. He was even canonically bros with Éomer! However, everything about everyone else in his family is headcanon, except that Lothíriel did indeed marry Éomer (though we don’t know how exactly that came to be).

Elphir ft. Elphir, Idhrenes (OC), Alphros We know nothing about Elphir and Alphros except for their names and relevant dates; all of this is headcanon.

CHIEFTAINS OF THE DÚNEDAIN

Aranarth ft. Aranarth, Lorneth (OC), Amathim (OC), Arahael, Idhrion (OC) Aranarth is implied to have a younger brother, as the ROTK appendices indicate he is the elder son of Arvedui. He also had at least one other child, since Dírhael is “said to be a descendant of a younger branch of Aranarth.” I came up with a different version of Dírhael’s ancestry that I like better, interpreting “younger branch of Aranarth” to just broadly mean “a younger branch of Aranarth’s house,” but I decided I liked the idea of giving Arahael a sibling. The bit about Aranarth’s tracking ability was borrowed from Middle-earth Role Playing. Arahael was born decades after his father’s inheritance (unusual for the Dúnedain, but Aranarth was particularly young when Arvedui died); technically Aranarth gave the heirlooms of Arnor to Elrond shortly after Angmar was destroyed, but after reading this excellent fic by @nikosheba I’ve adopted the headcanon that instead that happened when Aranarth’s wife arrived in Rivendell. The circumstances of Arahael’s birth are mostly headcanon, though he was born and raised in Rivendell, as were all his heirs after him.

Arahael Arahael, Avorniel (OC), Aranuir, Bellassamdir (OC), Aravir, Daerís (OC), Aragorn I, Galadil (OC), Araglas, Aeneth (OC) We know basically nothing about everyone in this edit, except that Aragorn I was indeed killed by wolves. Everything else is headcanon.

Arahad I ft. Arahad I, Silivreneth (OC), Aragost, Alphalas (OC), Aravorn, Sírdhem (OC), Arahad II, Ellother (OC), Arassuil, Glórineth (OC) I’m not sure if it’s clear in the caption, but Celebrían was wounded during Arahad’s rule, not Aragost’s; however, Aragost was a grown man at the time and I imagined him taking an active role under his father’s jurisdiction. The Rangers as a group canonically fought back against the invasion of orcs into Eriador at this time, though Arassuil was not mentioned individually. All the major events in this edit are canonical, but any involvement of the Chieftains and their families is headcanon.

Arathorn I ft. Arathorn I, Dravoriel (OC), Argonui, Eithiar (OC) Arathorn was indicated to have died violently, but we don’t know the specifics of this death, and it happened near the end of his natural lifespan anyway. The War of the Dwarves and Orcs did happen at this time, which affected the politics of the area, but any involvement of the Dúnedain is headcanon.

Argonui ft. Argonui, Theriel (OC), Arador, Malríneth (OC), Arathorn II The events mentioned here are canonical, but most of how these characters reacted to them is headcanon. Arador’s death is canon, though the reason he was out in the Coldfells is unknown.

Eithiar ft. Eithiar (OC), Farion (OC), Dírhael, Gilbarad, Ivorwen, Gilraen Argonui having a sibling is entirely my idea; I decided it would be interesting if Gilraen and Arathorn II were more closely related than simply both being descendants of Aranarth. Everything about Gilbarad is headcanon except for his name and relation to Ivorwen. The story of Dírhael and Ivorwen’s disagreement over Gilraen’s marriage is canon, but has been embellished; the story of their own marriage is headcanon.

Arathorn II ft. Arathorn II, Gilraen, Aragorn II This is mostly based in canon, but the details have been embellished. Aragorn and Arwen are the only characters in this series that I used movie faceclaims for, just because I think they work really well.

Aragorn II Elessar ft. Aragorn II Elessar, Arwen Undómiel, Eldarion, Erthoril (OC), Eliominal (OC), Evrindil (OC) Everything about Aragorn is canon. This guy did a LOT of stuff. Arwen did indeed make the Standard of Elendil, but it is a headcanon (that I think I first got from @jaz-the-bard) that she reforged Andúril, and also that she was waiting to find the right people to be mortal with (that was also from Jaz, lol). Naturally, everything about their kids is headcanon except for the most basic information about Eldarion. Aragorn and Arwen canonically had several daughters; I made one actually be nonbinary because I felt like it. Eliominal is derived from elia “to bless” and menel “heavens”; it should properly be Eliormenel but I changed the spelling for aesthetic purposes, and also a nod to the common tongue (minal is the Adûnaic version of Q./S. menel). “Evrin” is an alteration of “Ivrin” which I translate as “crystal.” Tolkien Gateway says that Eldarion had at least one son but I went through their sources in Peoples of Middle-earth and found no mention of this. It is stated that it was prophesied he would rule a great kingdom that would last “a hundred generations of Men after him,” but the same text admits that it is unknown if that is true, and even that statement is not necessarily indicative that those “hundred generations” would be his direct descendants. It is equally likely that his kingship passed to a child of one of his sisters and that he himself was childless. Personally, I ship Eldarion with Elboron, so I’m choosing that version of events instead.
