Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking: Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!

Happy Stabbing of the Witch King Day!
Tumblr media
Let’s not forget that, on 15th March it wasn’t just Julius Caesar who got stabbed to death by unexpected opponents! On this day, Éowyn daughter of Éomund and Meriadoc Bradybuck killed the Witch King of Angmar, chief of the Nazgûl, during the battle of the Pelennor Fields.

so i have a little nonsense theory about the name Dernhelm, the name used by Eowyn when she rides with the Rohirrim to Gondor in The Return of the King.
just a couple things i noticed on my read through:
the prefix 'dern' means secret or hidden (also seen in Derndingle, the location of the Entmoot).
the captain, Elfhelm, and the rest of the company 'Dernhelm' was riding with ignored her, and she rarely spoke.
the way its described in the book its implied that the captain and company were simply turning a blind eye to her coming along, however, i think that its unlikely that the men of Rohan would allow beloved Eowyn to ride to war and likely death, especially when she was supposed to be governing the people left behind in Meduseld- surely at least ONE would disagree, and then the jig would be up. additionally, why Dernhelm? its a good name, but with people who understand the meaning of the words, you might as well be calling yourself something like sneaky bill.
so here's my extravagant, unnecessary and probably incorrect proposition: the name Dernhelm is a mantle that anyone can take up when they dont want the trappings of their old name. maybe they did things in the past that they arent proud of, or maybe their family name has been somehow dishonoured, or maybe even they dont want their actions in the upcoming battle to be associated with themselves. in any case, Dernhelm is simply a name that anyone can use, and people will politely act like they do not exist, and not try to learn the name or the face behind the helm. Eowyn takes up the mantle, and can fade into the company of riders unchallenged

I am still angry that I was not somehow living in New Zealand with my horse in 1999 when they put out the call for extras who could ride to be Rohirrim, so I could be a part of the charge over the Pelennor Fields.
I'm going to die mad about it.

The last video got deleted on YouTube, so here it is again: Tolkien reading the Ride of the Rohirrim.

"Aragorn’s arms pulled him close, hugged him hard. For the briefest moment, he brought his head to Boromir’s shoulder, and Boromir heard a faint sobbing breath. He knew then that Aragorn had no words, could find no words equal to his emotion. Eighty seven long years. And for Gondor, nigh on a thousand, had brought them both to this moment. They drew apart, hands on each other’s shoulders. Aragorn began to smile." ['Rapid Peril' by Carolyn Golledge. 2008]

Men clashed spear upon shield. ‘Éomer, my son! You lead the first éored ,’ said Théoden; ‘and it shall go behind the king’s banner in the centre. Elfhelm, lead your company to the right when we pass the wall. And Grimbold shall lead his towards the left. Let the other companies behind follow these three that lead, as they have chance. Strike wherever the enemy gathers. Other plans we cannot make, for we know not yet how things stand upon the field. Forth now, and fear no darkness!’ RETURN OF THE KING: THE RIDE OF THE ROHIRRIM
