I love Domhall Gleeson so much, you have no idea!!! 😱😍😭❤️ I was already super interested in your wonderfully conceived Derufin before, and now I'm even more determined to bring him into my AU with a significant role! With your permission, of course!

I know he's technically canon, but the character is one of those blank slates that makes him practically an OC (in my view, anyway). When you have the time, could you please give me an info dump of everything you've created for him, as much as you are comfortable sharing? If you don't mind! :)

And speaking of fancasting, is his father Duinhir played by Brendan Gleeson by any chance? 😂

PS. Have fun with BG3! I haven't played it myself, but my sister spent a solid amount of time being lost to that game too. So I understand the fixation. 😂

Thank you so much for sending this ask @sotwk! And thank you for your infinite patience, unfortunately my new job has been hectic so I've had to delay forming a replay, but HERE WE GO!

The second I read your idea about Brendan Gleeson being Duinhir it immediately became my canon also <3.

There are some things about the Derufin/Morwen/Boromir triangle that I've cut out from Under Our Darkening Skies.

"When Lady Morwen had first arrived in Minas Tirith, she had wasted no time to approach Boromir and subtly prodded him on his designs regarding marriage. He was, after all, the most sought after bachelor in Gondor. A bachelor still, in his late thirties, to his father’s eternal chagrin. In response, the Steward’s Heir equally gently had let slip that he had not been planning to take a wife, and she had quickly pranced off to the greener pastures that the City offered."

Because of Morwen initially setting her sights on Boromir (I mean duh), Derufin is still to this day reluctant to make his feelings for her known. He thinks Morwen still prefers Boromir. In reality Morwen's making a pass on Boromir back then had been dictated more by her youthful ambition than any real feelings for him or even any genuine regard. So, Derufin, grow a pair and just ask her out already!!!

Some more trivia:

Derufin's older brother Duilin is prone to brooding and melancholy while Derufin is the funny, carefree one.

Derufin's love for Lady Morwen is rivalled only by his love for his finely made and custom-decorated yew longbow - a gift from Lord Steward given for Derufin's knighting. He has, of course, named the bow after the Lady. Boromir groans loudly whenever he's reminded of it. Derufin is so so so cringe about his bow but also INSANELY good at archery.

Derufin is one of the few people who know about Boromir's fling with the Archivist. He found out accidentally (and has been wishing to erase the image from his brain ever since).

Derufin is actually not the only member of Boromir and Faramir's friend group from their youth. The "pack", aside from Boromir, Faramir, Derufin and Duilin, also included Hirluin the Fair (nicknamed Pretty Boy by Derufin). Faramir befriended Hirluin when he squired in under Hador, the Lord of Pinnath Gelin. Hirluin (who has as of 3018 TE succeeded his late father) is a ladies man and a party animal, so his friendship with Faramir is an unlikely one. However, their bond is strong because of the shared memories from their youth.

I dread what will become of these babies during the Battle of Pelennor. Just know that I am out od my mind and I can promise nothing :D

Favourite Female Tolkien Character Poll - Round 2, Match 15

Éowyn

Come on, you all know who Éowyn is. Shieldmaiden of Rohan, kills the Witch-king of Angmar, healed of the Black Breath by Aragorn and of despair by Faramir, marries Faramir.

Morwen Steelsheen

The mother of Théoden, and of two daughters (one older than him and one younger); Eowyn's grandmother. She was from Lossarnach in Gondor, and was seventeen years younger than her husband Thengel.

Éowyn was slender and tall, with a grace and pride that came to her out of the South from Morwen of Lossarnach, whom the Rohirrim had called Steelsheen.

[sirioniel]

Morwen of Lossarnach, also called Steelsheen, descended from the Princes of Dol Amroth and became Queen Consort to King Thengel of Rohan. Unfortunately Tolkien doesn't say much about her.

Besides this quote Tolkien writes that Éowyn bears a resemblence to her grandmother Morwen and their shared Gondorian ancestry.

For your writers truth & dare ask game, I send you:

🥤- recommend a fanfic or author you love

🛼- describe your latest wip with five emojis

Enjoy! 😁

Sorry I didn’t get to this sooner!!! Thank you so much for the ask 😊

For 🥤: it really depends on the fandom!

Most of my following is for Tolkien related content, in which case MedeaSmyke’s A Consolation of Princes Part I & II on AO3. It’s the Thengel / Morwen of Lossarnach fic(s) you never knew you needed, the dynamic is vaguely reminiscent of Emma and it’s really reminding me of how much my love for Théoden grows every day.

For the ASOIAF / HOTD fans, I’m deep in the HOTD trenches at the moment, so I would say any fic from sweetestsorrows, ginvael, amazingangie or luthien-under-bough for that fandom (all are specifically Daemyra, sorry my Rhaenicent fam I love you too). In particular sweetestsorrows has some fantastic stuff.

For 🛼 : 🐉💍💖🩸🤯

[quiterespectablyyours]

After parting ways with Gandalf, I ran into Lady Morwen of Lossarnach. She took one look at me and knew, somehow, that I was worrying about the crowds. 

She told me about her own wedding to Thengel, son of Fengel King, and how all of the Captains of the Riddermark came upon the White City to witness it. They called her Steelsheen then, for she was to them as fair and sharp as a keen silver blade. She had not understood at the time why they would liken her to a sword, as it seemed unlike her. She had learnt, later, that it was a token of respect for their future queen. 

I have grown to understand the respect wielded by sword and steel, but also the respect yielded through good, green earth. Lady Morwen is younger than me, with eyes of steel but a face soft like flower petals, and she has survived a royal wedding with her dignity intact. It would be a poor showing for the Shire if I were to get cold feet now, wouldn’t it?

men of middle-earth ♞ house of éorl ♞ headcanon disclaimer

        Thengel was the son of Fengel, and the sixteenth King of Rohan. He quarreled often with his father, a greedy and incompetent king, and left Rohan in his youth to serve under Steward Turgon of Gondor. There he met and married Morwen Steelsheen of Lossarnach, a descendant of an offshoot branch of the Princes of Dol Amroth, a proud and noble woman whom he loved greatly.           Morwen bore him five children in all, four daughters and one son. The eldest was Frithild, a gentle woman whose heart remained always in her birthplace of Gondor. Then came Thengel’s heir Théoden, likewise born in Gondor, but raised a prince of Rohan with the understanding of his place in the line of succession.           Shortly before the birth of Thengel and Morwen’s third child, Mereliss, word came to Gondor of Fengel’s death. Reluctantly, Thengel returned to his land of origin and was crowned King of Rohan. Despite his yearning to return to Gondor, Thengel was a wise and firm king, much more respected by his people. During his reign, the wizard Saruman took full control of Isengard and began to fortify it, which troubled Thengel for a reason he could not name.           Then appeared the ranger Thorongil, a mysterious warrior who entered into the king’s service for a time. Thorongil rode at Thengel’s side against any enemies that dared cross into the borders of Rohan, earning the king’s trust and friendship before he heeded the summons of Steward Ecthelion II and went to Gondor.           Thorongil remained in Rohan long enough to see the birth of Shadufled, fourth of Thengel’s children, and with his foresight guided Thengel and Morwen in how best to raise the babe he Saw would chafe against the expectations of a Lady and wish sometimes to be a Lord instead. True to his predictions, Shadufled grew to express both masculine and feminine qualities, and remembering Thorongil’s advice, their parents were able to support them as they discovered themself.           The last of Thengel and Morwen’s children was Théodwyn, fairest of their daughters and kindest of heart. She and her siblings were raised with the customs of Gondor, the land of their mother’s origin and of their father’s heart. Sindarin was the daily tongue of Thengel’s house, along with Westron, and his children used Rohirric only to converse with their friends outside their home.

Could you share an idea of your interpretations of characters height ? (including Denethor and his sons, Imrahil, Finduilas, Ivriniel and Eowyn)

Sure! 

If we’re abiding by canon, most if not all are going to be really, really tall by our standards. With that caveat, my interpretations/headcanons:

Denethor is “very tall” according to POME and looks like an ancient Númenórean. I do imagine him as a little taller than Boromir, but not quite as tall as he once was. Probably a little shorter than Faramir these days, but only a little.

Aragorn is, per Tolkien, at least 6′6″. I imagine him as slightly above the 6′6″ limit (mostly just to go against the grain). 

Ivriniel is tall even for a Dúnadan woman. Her sister Finduilas, though not short, was smaller. (There was definitely a pronounced height difference between Finduilas and Denethor.)

Imrahil is tall (also canon), but I imagine him as a little shorter and bulkier than Denethor and Aragorn, more like Boromir. He’s very strong.

Boromir is slightly shorter than Aragorn, Éomer, and Denethor, but still a very tall man. Per the above, he’s about the same height and has the same kind of build as his uncle Imrahil.

Faramir is also explicitly stated to be very tall. To go by him stooping to reach Éowyn, he’s possibly even taller than the others, and this is how I imagine him. Not by a lot, though—maybe 1-2 inches taller than Aragorn and Éomer. 

Elphir, Erchirion, and Amrothos are all somewhere in the vicinity of 6′4″ for me. I imagine Erchirion as the tallest, and Amrothos as the leanest. 

Éomer is, according to UT, around Aragorn’s height (care of his grandmother Morwen of Lossarnach). 

Éowyn is also canonically tall, but not as tall as most of the male Riders of Rohan, and significantly shorter than Faramir (to go by the stooping). So I do imagine her as the shortest of this lot.

I headcanon that Lothíriel strongly resembles her aunt Finduilas in appearance, but is taller than Finduilas was, nearly as tall as Ivriniel. She’s genuinely surprised to marry a man who is noticeably taller than she is!

Bonus round: Thengel of Rohan was average-sized for a man of Rohan, about 5′10″ or 5′11″ and strongly-built. Given that Éomer’s extraordinary height is attributed to Thengel’s wife Morwen, who sprang from an offshoot of the House of Dol Amroth, I imagine she was also very tall—certainly taller than Thengel.

I’d roughly rank them, from tallest to shortest, like this: Faramir -> Denethor/Aragorn/Éomer -> Erchirion -> Boromir/Imrahil/Elphir/Amrothos -> Ivriniel/Morwen -> Lothíriel -> Thengel -> Finduilas -> Éowyn.

Morwen Steelsheen

The mother of Théoden, and of two daughters (one older than him and one younger). She was from Lossarnach in Gondor, and was seventeen years younger than her husband Thengel.

Éowyn was slender and tall, with a grace and pride that came to her out of the South from Morwen of Lossarnach, whom the Rohirrim had called Steelsheen.

Théodwyn

The youngest daughter of Morwen Steelsheen and Thengel, Théodwyn was the mother of Éomer and Éowyn; she died of illness when they were children, not long after her husband Éomund was killed in battle.

[sulfin-evend]

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.

She was known as Morwen of Lossarnach, for she dwelt there; but she did not belong to the people of that land. Her father had re­moved thither, for love of its flowering vales, from Belfalas; he was a descendant of a former prince of that fief, and thus a kinsman of Prince Imrahil.
