In my headcanon for my fanfic Edged in Silver, it is custom for a Gondorian man to gift his bride-to-be with a bird-shaped brooch when they plight their troth.

In my headcanon for Edged in Silver, Éothain is Éomer’s first cousin on his father’s side, and the Captain of his household éored.

The mother of my original protagonist Idrin in Edged in Silver is Denethor II’s canonical sister and is a year older than him.

Most of the information about the climate of Gondor in The Lord of the Rings concerns Ithilien, with various other bits scattered throughout the book. As with my little study on Rohan’s climate, vegetation and wildlife, I found all that could be found in Tolkien’s writings and applied what is known about climate zones and habitats to it to form more detailed conclusions.

I had always been fascinated by the descriptions of the rolling grasslands of Rohan in The Lord of the Rings, and thought how interesting it would be to have a more detailed account of the country’s climate, vegetation and wildlife. So, I gathered every bit of canonical information found in Tolkien’s books and letters concerning the subject, and applied the available knowledge on habitats and climate to those findings in order to form conclusions.

 My headcanon concerning the fashions of the peoples of Middle-earth, from West to East, from simple to elaborate (cf. Costume and Armour of the Peoples of Arda).
