Rhysnaur's Family

Rhysnaur ‘Flame Shield’

Female – 33/72 – Deputy (Soldier)/Stable Master – Rohan (Edoras)/Gondor (Minas Tirith) Face Claim: Rosamund Pike (Wrath of the Titans: Andromeda) Links: Wife of Tholcred, mother of Rhymenel and Rhosynel, sister of Rhosthain Notes: Fan made Fics: Hell or High Water, On Swift Wings Personality: Rhysnaur is smart and quick witted, with an eye for details, she is however, very passionate which can easily be tripped into becoming hot-headed and somewhat volatile at times, much to the chagrin of her friends. She possesses a strong sense of justice, and an innate sense of right and wrong, becoming easily riled when she considers someone to be acting unfairly. Thankfully she’s easy to subdue or reason with, and while she can become irate, these tempers rarely last long.

Tholcred

Male – 30/70 – Falconer/Stable Accounts – Gondor (Minas Tirith) Face Claim: Charlie Cox (Stardust: Tristan Thorn) Links: Husband of Rhysnaur, father of Rhymenel and Rhosynel Notes: Fan made Fics: Hell or High Water, On Swift Wings, Personality: Steady, calm, compassionate

Rhymenel

Female – 37 – Head Healer (east wing) – Gondor (Minas Tirith) Face Claim: Sophia Myles (Tristan & Isold: Isold) Links: Wife of Hamasael, daughter of Rhysnaur and Tholcred, sister of Rhosynel, mother of Wennarhys and Faelrhys Notes: Fan made Fics: On Swift Wings Personality: Gentle, composed, bossy

Rhosynel ‘Rovailor’

Female – 35 – Messenger/Ex-Ranger – Gondor (Minas Tirith)/Varies Face Claim: Lily James (Mama Mia 2: Young Donna) Links: Daughter of Rhysnaur and Tholcred, younger sister of Rhymenel, partner of Boromir Notes: Fan made Fics: On Swift Wings (+AUs), Fragile Foundations, Personality: While confident in her job and in battle, Rhosynel is very much out of her depth in the realm of courtly politics and meetings, as such she’s wary of putting a foot wrong and causing a diplomatic scandal. While she struggles to hold her tongue, Rhosynel manages to rein in the worst of her attitude and restrain herself to sarcasm, or simply falls silent, preferring to watch rather than be caught in the thick of discussions. Thankfully, she has friends within the nobility, and while under Boromir’s protective wing and with Éowyn’s quiet advice, she’ll soon learn how to navigate the turbulent waters of Gondorian politics.

Hamasael

Male – 40 – Merchant/Ex-Soldier – Gondor (Minas Tirith) Face Claim: Santiago Cabrera (BBC Musketeers: Aramis) Links: Husband of Rhymenel, father of Wennarhys and Faelrhys Notes: Fan made, paralysed from the waist down Fics: On Swift Wings Personality: Steadfast, suave, entertainer

Wennarhys

Female – 12 – Trainee Healer / Seamstress – Gondor (Minas Tirith) Face Claim: Mackenzie Foy (Nutcracker) Links: Daughter of Rhymenel and Hamasael, sister of Faerhys Notes: Fan made Fics: On Swift Wings Personality: Innocent, polite, nervous

Faerhys

Male – 8/9 – Child – Gondor (Minas Tirith) Face Claim: Toby Woolf (The Last Post) Links: Son of Rhymenel and Hamasael, brother of Wennarhys Notes: Fan made Fics: On Swift Wings Personality: Brash, curious, oblivious

Rainion

Male – Deceased – Ranger – Gondor (Minas Tirith) Face Claim: Ben Barnes (Sons of Liberty) Links: Partner of Rhosynel Notes: Fan made, AU of Dante Fics: On Swift Wings (mentioned), Backstory, Falconer AU, Modern AU Personality: Sarcastic, protective, pushy

Rhosthain

Male – 30/Deceased – Deputy (Soldier) – Rohan (Edoras)/Gondor (Minas Tirith) Face Claim: Heath Ledger (Knight Tale: Ser William) Links: Brother of Rhysnaur Notes: Fan made Fics: Hell or High Water Personality: Reckless, impulsive, comedic

Heobald's Family

Héobald

Male – 30s/60s – Deputy (Soldier)/City Guard – Rohan (Edoras) Face Claim: Taylor Napier (Wheel of Time) Links: Son of Léobald, father of Héostor, Haehild, Héomod Notes: Fan made, loses an arm at Helms Deep Fics: Hell or High Water, On Swift Wings Personality: Steady, observant, cynical

Odelhilde (Faceclaim Pending)

Héostor

Male – Early 30s – Éored Rider (Éomer) – Rohan (Edoras) Face Claim: Matt Barr (Sleepy Hollow TV) Links: Son of Héobald, brother of Haehild and Héomod Notes: Fan made Fics: On Swift Wings, Fragile Foundations Personality:

Haehild

Female – Late 20s – Chamber Maid – Rohan (Edoras) Face Claim: Fernanda Nobre (Deus Salve O Rei) Links: Wife of Fulred, mother of Freaer and Fendig, daughter of Héobald, sister of Héostor and Héomod Notes: Fan made Fics: On Swift Wings Personality:

Héomod

Male – Mid 20s/Deceased – City Guard – Rohan (Edoras) Face Claim: Alexander Ludwig (Young Bjorn) Links: Son of Héobald, brother of Héostor and Haehild Notes: Fan made, dies at Helms Deep Fics: On Swift Wings Personality:

Fulred

Male – Late 20s – City Guard – Rohan (Edoras) Face Claim: Nick Slater (Reign) Links: Husband of Haehild, father of Freaer and Fendig Notes: Fan made Fics: On Swift Wings Personality:

Freaer

Female – 10 – Child – Rohan (Edoras) Face Claim: Aimee Richardson (Game of Thrones: Myrcella) Links: Daughter of Haehild and Fulred, twin sister of Fendig Notes: Fan made Fics: On Swift Wings Personality:

Fendig

Ilmara!! She's based on a northern goshawk which are stunning birds! This is the first time I've tried shading and highlighting in such a way to get that "back lit" effect, but I'm pretty happy with how she came out!

Rhosynel! I like trying to get characters personalities across in their clothing, so Rhos here doesn't have her uniform all done up smartly, but more loose and free, which suits her far better!

We'll start off with the seating plan I made to keep track of who sat where! Admittedly, almost everyone moved around during the interval, but it'll give you a good idea of who's where to start off with.

It was decided that Gandalf would take the head seat as chair of the meeting to keep everyone on track, and reduce any of the Lords from seeing Aragorn as siezing power too quickly. While Boromir and Faramir take seats close to the head as Gondor's current leader(s). Rhosynel is so close to the head due to Boromir wanting to keep her close ❤️

Everyone else is mostly random, but you could perhaps read into where their loyalties lie 🤫

Please note I misspelt Falasriel as Falasser.

Gandalf

Male – Old as Balls – Wizard – Gondor (Minas Tirith) Face Claim: Ian McKellen (Gandalf!) Links: N/A Notes: Canon. Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: Steady and wise, Gandalf was requested to chair the meeting by Aragorn, in a bid to make him seem less power-hungry. As a wizard, Gandalf earns more respect (and a little bit of fear) from the Lords, and is an ideal option to keep the meeting on track and quell any arguments that threaten to get out of hand. Likewise, his advice is invaluable, and Aragorn relies on him heavily during the first few months of his reign to ensure the smooth handover from Steward to King. While Gandalf is more than willing to assist, he’s aware that eventually, Aragorn will have to come into his own, but will do his best to advise in the meantime.

Aragorn

Male – 49/88 – Ranger/King – Location/s Face Claim: Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn!) Links: Son of Gilraen and Arathorn, nephew of Avalômi, partner of Arwen, distant cousin of Hathiel Notes: Canon Fics: Hell or High Water, On Swift Wings, Hunting in the Hills Personality: Not yet having claimed the crown, Aragorn is wary of moving too fast and setting the Lords on edge with what they may perceive as a power grab, as such he will spend the first month of his time in Minas Tirith as another Lord, slowly integrating himself and earning their trust. As such, he’s quick to pour his focus and energy into the reconstruction of the city, the ousting of orcs, and the soothing of old wounds from Denethor’s reign. Thankfully, he has the backing of Boromir, Faramir, and Imrahil, which helps ease his arrival and subsequent crowning.

Faramir

Male – 35 – Ranger Captain/Steward – Gondor (Minas Tirith/Emyn Arnen) Face Claim: David Wenham (Faramir!) Links: Son of Denethor and Finduilas, brother of Boromir, partner of Éowyn Notes: Canon Fics: On Swift Wings, (+AUs) Personality: Having inherited Denethor’s perception into the mind of men, Faramir is careful in his dealing with the Lords, and comes across as a peacekeeper in his quickness to smooth over any disagreements. Well aware that many of the other Lords believe him to be untested, Faramir is content to let them believe what they wish, as he has more important things to be dealing with, namely the recovery of Minas Tirith and integration of Aragorn as King. However as a staunch supporter of the King, he has little tolerance for any gossip that may be sparked and is quick to put an end to it.

Boromir (It's him!)

Male – 40 – Captain of Gondor/Steward – Gondor (Minas Tirith) Face Claim: Sean Bean (Boromir!) Links: Son of Denethor and Finduilas, brother of Faramir, partner of Rhosynel Notes: Canon, Lives AU Fics: Hell or High Water, On Swift Wings, (+AUs), Personality: A rock in a stormy sea, Boromir is steadfast and strong-willed, quickly proving to the other lords that he’ll not be influenced or swayed by their manipulations and offers. Incredibly protective, Boromir take utterly no belittling over things he considers ‘his’ to defend, whether that’s his king, his city, his people, or even his future wife. This does, however, make him easy to provoke during meetings and courts, and while his wrath and any potential fallout is enough to deter most Lords, not all of them are so easily discouraged.

Rhosynel (It's her!)

Female – 35 – Messenger/Ex-Ranger – Gondor (Minas Tirith)/Varies Face Claim: Lily James (Mama Mia 2: Young Donna) Links: Daughter of Rhysnaur and Tholcred, younger sister of Rhymenel, partner of Boromir Notes: Fan made Fics: On Swift Wings, (+AUs), Personality: While confident in her job and in battle, Rhosynel is very much out of her depth in the realm of courtly politics and meetings, as such she’s wary of putting a foot wrong and causing a diplomatic scandal. While she struggles to hold her tongue, Rhosynel manages to rein in the worst of her attitude and restrain herself to sarcasm, or simply falls silent, preferring to watch rather than be caught in the thick of discussions. Thankfully, she has friends within the nobility, and while under Boromir’s protective wing and with Éowyn’s quiet advice, she’ll soon learn how to navigate the turbulent waters of Gondorian politics.

Éowyn

Female – 24 – Lady/Soldier – Edoras (Rohan) Face Claim: Miranda Otto (Éowyn!) Links: Daughter of Théodwyn and Éomund, sister of Éomer, partner of Faramir Notes: Canon Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: Having made a name for herself in the slaying of the Witch King, Éowyn won’t allow anyone to shut her out of the council meetings and doesn’t hesitate to make her voice heard. Having grown up within the halls of the Medusled, she’s more the familiar with the politicking and subterfuge of courts, and is able to navigate it easily, as such, she’s become a valuable and reliable ally to Éomer, and will frequently advise him when required. The other Lords quickly learn that she’s as sharp as the sword she wields, and as protective as the shield that earnt her title.

Éomer

Male – 28 – Marshal/King – Edoras (Rohan) Face Claim: Karl Urban (Éomer!) Links: Son of Théodwyn and Éomund, brother of Éowyn, (future) partner of Lothíriel Notes: Canon Fics: On Swift Wings, Respite from Revelry Personality: Having little patience for political infighting and subtle jabs, Éomer fears he’s too blunt to work alongside the Lords of Gondor. This results in him either remaining silent until he has something to say, or losing his temper when pushed and needled by other Lords who wish to teste the new Rohirric King. However with Éowyn advising him, and the support of Aragorn, Boromir, and Imrahil, he’s able to navigate the political waters a little more easily, no matter how it chafes him to be surrounded by uptight and pompous sycophants.

Legolas

Male – OLD – Prince – Gondor (Minas Tirith)/Mirkwood Face Claim: Orlando Bloom (Legolas!) Links: Son of Thranduil Notes: Canon. Fics: On Swift Wings, Gift of Mortals Personality: Empathetic with the turmoil that the kingdom of Gondor has gone through, Legolas believes that the citizens will need time to recover from the trauma of battle, and advises as such. However he’s all too aware of the fleeting lives of men, and understands that for them to truly recover, the signs of war and battle must be smoothed away first. Its this which prompts him to suggest that aid should be sent to Minas Tirith from the regions of Gondor, and even goes as far as to send word to his father and request carpenters and plant-wrights in a bid to bring life back to the once great city.

Gimli

Male – 140(?) – Lord – Gondor (Minas Tirith) Face Claim: John Rhys-Davies (Gimli!) Links: Son of Gloin Notes: Canon Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: Steadfast and loyal, Gimli has found himself invested in the lives of men and is quick to offer his expertise in assessing the city’s damage, even offering to call upon his dwarven kin to help rebuild. As such, he’s quickly integrated himself amongst the more reasonable Lords and finds himself with numerous invitations to visit the various regions of Gondor, although he’s amusingly aware that many of the Lords are seeking dwarven crafting or trade within their own settlements. He’s not going to discourage them though, as Gimli is delighted by the idea of further trade.

Prince Imrahil

Male – 25/64 – Prince – Gondor (Dol Amroth) Face Claim: Henry Cavill (Tudors) Links: Son of Adrahil and Finariel, sister of Findulias and Irviniel, husband of Mireniel, father of Elphir, Erchirion, Amrothos, and Lothíriel Notes: Canon, younger faceclaim due to being in HoHW too. Fics: Hell or High Water, On Swift Wings, Personality: Stately and regal, Imrahil is a skilled leader and the highest ranked Lord within Gondor, holding influence with is second only to the Stewards. With a keen eye, Imrahil isn’t easily fooled by acts or swayed by honeyed words, something which many of the Lords find difficult to work with, as he frequently seems to be ‘above’ the petty infighting and politicking that frequently happens. He is, however, a force to be reckoned with, a wise leader, and source of advice and assessment to any Lord that should require it.

Prince Elphir

Male – 32 – Prince – Gondor (Dol Amroth) Face Claim: Richard Madden (Medici) Links: Son of Imrahil and Mireniel, brother of Erchirion, Amrothos, and Lothíriel, husband of Suioril, father of Alphros Notes: Canon Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: The eldest son and Heir to Dol Amroth, Elphir has been raised to take his father’s place someday. While this is a considerable amount of pressure, Elphir is confident and capable, already starting to act in his father’s stead when required, and clearly has the temperament required to be a Lord. He can, however, be prompted into foolishness by his younger brothers, but even then Elphir will maintain the position of ‘responsible one’, and keeps the pair from getting into too much trouble.

Prince Erchirion

Male – 29 – Prince – Gondor (Dol Amroth) Face Claim: Adrian Enscoe (Dickinson) Links: Son of Imrahil and Mireniel, brother of Elphir, Amrothos, and Lothíriel Notes: Canon Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: As the middle son, it was expected that Echirion would take command of the Swan Knights, however his aptitude is far more aligned with that of the mercantile business, with a head for numbers, an eye for deals, and an approachable attitude which is quick to form alliances and trade. Erchirion is quickly becoming a reliable source to the other Lords outside of his own family, for facilitating trade between the regions, and as such, is now training under his aunt Irviniel in all things to do with the Swan Fleet and their trading businesses.

Prince Amrothos

Male – 25 – Prince – Gondor (Dol Amroth) Face Claim: Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton) Links: Son of Imrahil and Mireniel, brother of Elphir, Erchirion, and Lothíriel, partner of Filrien Notes: Canon Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: It was fully expected for Amrothos to take over as lead of the merchant business, however he holds little interest in trade or deals, and as such has become a far more likely candidate for captaining the Swan Knights. He’s a skilled fighter and strategist, and despite being badly injured at Morannon, Amrothos hasn’t lost his smartass attitude, nor his inclination for mischief, although both facets have been somewhat dampened. He’s more than capable of maintaining a stricter façade during meetings, but will occasionally slip into his usual sarcastic self.

Forlong the Fat (Deceased)

Male – Deceased – Lord – Gondor (Lossarnach) Face Claim: Donald Sutherland (Pride and Prejudice) Links: Husband of Rhossolas, father of Geldrong, grandfather of Glaeron, Magron, and Ruinloth Notes: Canon, dies on Pelannor Fields Fics: On Swift Wings (Mentioned) Personality: Previous Lord of Lossarnach, Forlong was killed during the battle of Pelannor Fields, leaving his son, Gelrong to rule. He was known to be a powerful fighter even into his later years, and had implemented the Rose Knights of Lossarnach, a contingent of highly trained soldiers. Despite this military prowess, he was also known to enjoy luxuries, exhibited by his seat in Lossarnach, a beautiful if frivolous building of many turrets and towers, filled with lavish furniture and beautiful works of art. Such wealth occurred thanks to Lossarnach’s trade in fruits, crops, flowers, dyes, spices, and waxes.

Geldrong

Male – 56 – Lord – Gondor (Lossarnach) Face Claim: Rossif Sutherland (Reign) Links: Son of Forlong and Rhossolas, husband of Úlloth, father of Glaeron, Magron, and Ruinloth Notes: Fan made, becomes Lord after Forlong dies on Pelannor Fields Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: Only recently having become Lord of Lossarnach Geldrong is determined to make his mark and maintain his family’s good standing in the world of Gondorian politics. He holds fasts to traditions, believing them to be the backbone of a stable rule, and is resistant to change. The arrival of a new king threatens their hard-earned status, something that Geldrong is wary of, and while he’s willing to see how Aragorn does, he believes that too much change will put his family’s status and position within Gondor at risk.

Hirluin the Fair (Deceased)

Male – Deceased – Lord – Gondor (Pennath Gelin) Face Claim: Tony Curran (Labyrinth) Links: Husband of Falasriel, father of Hithuion, Falfuin, Alphalas, and Alphriel Notes: Canon, dies on Pelannor Fields Fics: On Swift Wings (Mentioned) Personality: Titled ‘the Fair’ for his unusual blond colouration and his propensity for treating every man within his region with understanding and respect, he supported his wife unwaveringly, and adored his three sons and daughter. Hirluin may have been a minor Lord, but he easily earnt respect from the other Lords of Gondor, often acting as a mediator and peacekeeper during more agitated meetings. It came as a great shock to all, to hear that he and his three sons were killed on the Pelannor Fields during a bid to protect an old family friend, Lord Forlong.

Falasriel

Female – 51 – Lady – Gondor (Pinnath Gelin) Face Claim: Melia Kreiling (Bianca Gonzaga) Links: Wife of Hirluin, mother of Hithuion, Falfuin, Alphalas, and Alphriel Notes: Fan made, Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: As the wife of Hirluin, Falasriel was expected to dutifully remain within Pinnath Gelin during the approaching war, so when she arrived alongside her husband and their men via ship, it came as a surprise. The death of her husband and three sons was shocking, but she remained strong and was able to rally the last of their men into defending the city and assisting the host. While Hirluin had given strict instructions that she was to command their men in his absence, this upset many Lords who are reluctant to accept a Lady as their equal, but Falasriel has no issue holding her own against them, and doesn’t hesitate to stake her claim.

Northiligand

Male – 43 – Captain – Gondor (Anduin Delta) Face Claim: Eoin Macken (Merlin) Links: Husband of Sapirîn, son of Nesrael and Ingthil, cousin of Maegang Notes: Canon Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: As a very minor Lord over the region consisting of the Anduin Delta, Northiligand prefers the title of Captain, and reports directly to his cousin the Lord of Pelargir, Maegang. However they do not get along. Due to his region being so small and populated almost entirely by fishermen, Northiligang was unable to bring significant numbers with him to Minas Tirith, however his connection to Harondor through his wife Sapirîn, enabled him to enlist a small number of Harondian’s to travel north and protect the city. He arrived too late to join the Host to Morannon, but was quick to have his men assisting in the defence of the city and the routing of lingering orcs.

Golasgil

Male – 62 – Lord – Gondor (Anfalas) Face Claim: Graham McTavish (House of the Dragon) Links: Husband of Rosgeth Notes: Canon Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: From the small coastal region of Anfalas, Golasgil is one of the older Lords and was close friends with Hirluin due to their neighbouring lands. He managed to bring a small contingent of soldiers, along with numerous men from his lands, and while he sent the soldiers to Morannon with the Host, the hunters, herdsmen, and villagers, remained behind to defend Minas Tirith. He has a great love for his coastal lands, and is somewhat mistrustful of the high Lords, believing them to be power hungry and uninterested in his own region, unfortunately this perception hasn’t earnt him many alliances.

Lathron

Male – 40s – Lord – Gondor (Linhir) Face Claim: Mark Ryder (Borgia) Links: Son of Nendhir and Dailieth, cousin to Boromir and Faramir Notes: Fan made. Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: Lord Nendhir of Linhir married Lady Dailieth, sister of Denethor, making Lathron cousins to Boromir and Faramir, this lineage combined with the influential position of being Lindhir’s Lord, gives Lathron a significant position of power within the hierarchy of Gondorian politics. He is, however, rather new to the role, as his father died almost a year before. As such, Lathron is seeking to stake his own claim, build new alliances, and reinforce old ones, all of which would be far easier to do if the King had not returned. (He was next in line to become Steward, should Boromir and Faramir die.)

Húrin the Tall

Male – 69 – Warden of the Keys – Gondor (Minas Tirith) Face Claim: david suchet (hollow crown) Links: Husband of Gellin Notes: Canon, TALL Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: As Warden of the Keys, Húrin is a figure of significant importance within Minas Tirith, as he’s entrusted with guarding the city during the Stewards absence or incapacitation. As such, during the Host’s march on Morannon, and Faramir’s recovery within the Houses of Healing, Húrin was in charge of maintaining the cities defences. With a level head on his shoulders and little interest in playing the game of politics, Húrin was able to organise the Lords and their men and provided Minas Tirith with its best chance of survival, until the return of the King.

Angbor the Fearless

Male – 45 – Lord – Gondor (Lamedon) Face Claim: Matthew McNulty (BBC Musketeers: Lucian) Links: Older brother of Anborn Notes: Canon, I am normal about him Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: Surly and gruff, Angbor has little interest in politics and only turns up to meetings because he has to. Lamedon is a heavily forested area of Gondor just south of the White Mountains, while it’s a large region, is sparsely populated due to frequent incursions of orcs from the mountain, as such, Angbor commands a good number of men, albeit spread out across a wide area. Despite his rough exterior and personality, he has a good heart, and frequently sends out his men to assist in protecting the other regions of Gondor, and often supplies Captain Faramir with new recruits for the Rangers.

Duinhir the Tall

Male – Late 40s – Lord – Gondor (Morthond) Face Claim: Leo Suter (Vikings Valhalla) Links: Husband of Thilioril, father of Duilin and Derudin, brother of Drauhir Notes: Canon, TALL Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: Having brought 500 skilled bowmen to the battle of Pelannor Fields, Duinhir is a skilled taction and didn’t hesitate to ride out in the defence of the city alongside his sons Duilin and Derudin. However it was during this ride, that both sons were killed, trampled to death by Mûmakil, distraught at the loss, he recklessly threw himself into battle alongside his men, either in a bid to avenge or join his sons in death. Despite his best efforts, Duinhir survived, although he sustained injuries which prevented his joining of the Host to Morannon, while grieving, he is still has a sharp mind and utterly no tolerance for political bullshit.

Drauhir

Male – Late 40s – Lord of Ringló Vale – Gondor (Ringló Vale) Face Claim: Timothy Omundson (Galavant) Links: Husband of Ninneth, father of Dervorin and Lhinniel, brother of Duinhir Notes: Fan made, I love this man Fics: On Swift Wings, Respite from Revelry Personality: Coming across as incredibly jovial and light-hearted, many mistake Drauhir for being childish and impulsive. Truthfully, this is a façade he maintains around the other Lords, and while he is upbeat and cheerful, he’s more than able to hold his own during discussions and arguments, using their perceptions of him against them. Drauhir may be from a small region in Ringló Vale, but the extensive timber logging his people perform, supplies the coastal settlements with all lumber needed for shipwrights, and as such, keeps Gondor’s coasts safe against the corsairs.

Dervorin

Male – 25 – Captain – Gondor (Ringló Vale) Face Claim: Hayden Christensen (Outcast) Links: Son of Drauhir and Ninneth, brother of Lhinniel Notes: Canon Fics: On Swift Wings, Personality: While young and eager to prove himself, Dervorin is anything but impulsive and reckless, with a level head and steady hand, he is entrusted with the command of his father’s forces. Having joined the march to Morannon, Dervorin managed to make a name for himself, as while under his command their 300 men took minimal losses and returned to Minas Tirith with over 200 men still living. Its this tactical mindset which earned him a seat at the council chamber alongside his father and uncle, but whether his even temperament can hold up in the battle of politics, remains to be seen.

Maegang

Male – 55 – Lord – Gondor (Pelargir) Face Claim: Pyry Kähkönen (Vikings Valhalla) Links: Son of Pethrion and Maedeth Notes: Fan made, he's a DICK Fics: Hell or High Water? On Swift Wings, Personality: As the son of Pelargir’s Lord, Maegang was raised expecting to take over the command of their sizable fleet of warships. However during the year 2980, an attempt to defeat the corsairs required the return of all their warships, this was noticed by the corsairs, and the city attacked in the dead of night. Nearly all 80+ ships were destroyed, and Maegang’s future rule drastically shifted. Now instead of becoming the Lord of Gondor’s naval force, Maegang is instead the Lord of a trading town, and with significantly reduced influence in politics. Something he is still intensely bitter of forty years later.

Thats it, that's everyone of significance in this meeting!

2.) Where and when do they get to socialize with friends?

Rhosynel’s primary friend group consists of: Old Ranger buddies, and anyone she gets chatting with on missive runs!

The Rangers are who she’s closest to, but with both their jobs taking months at a time, it’s rare that she gets to meet up for a good hangout. But on the rare times they’re all in Minas Tirith together, you can almost be certain she’ll meet them at a tavern in the lowest levels! The Twisted Latch isn’t very reputable, but it has the best ale in all of Minas Tirith, the liveliest bards, and the most upbeat atmosphere. Probably the most brawls too, but the Rangers would claim that’s more of a draw, than a deterrent!

Rhosynel also has a few friends scattered about Arda, a number of messengers she’s worked with over the years, a handful of dwarves up in Erebor, and a couple of folk living in Dale that she hit it off with during one visit, she’s even managed to form a tentative ‘friendship’ with a couple of elves in Mirkwood, but they’d probably disagree.

She’s not actually an overly social person, but given the right atmosphere, she can talk up a storm with the locals. Rhosynel finds it easy to slip into a more casual accent with village folk, or to get rude with the soldiers, or even on the rare occasion she can dust herself off to speak with the fancy gentry! She’s learnt to do this over the years, as appealing to folk means it's easier to learn the gossip or track down folk to deliver messages. No one likes a stranger asking after someone, but if that stranger talks and acts like you? Suddenly it’s far easier to accept them into your midst!

(this also means she’s alarmingly good at adopting accents)

3.) What is something their partner or someone else close to them does that annoys them?

Rhosynel adores Boromir, she really does, but he’s A. overprotective, and B. frequently apologises when he doesn’t need to.

She gets why he’s protective, she really does! After everything they’ve been through, all the battles, fights, close calls, and near misses, it makes sense that Boromir frets over her safety and wishes she wouldn’t put herself in harm’s way. But to Rhosynel, it feels like he’s trying to prevent her from doing her job. Running messages isn’t safe, it never has been! It takes a long time for him to stop worrying over even the simplest of missive runs, but eventually his over protectiveness eases into just fretting. But even that can be too cloying at times!

Fun fact she had the same issue with her first partner Rainion, he was overprotective to a fault, and it drove her insane!

Boromir’s over apologising is something she’s trying to accept, after having the Ring twist his mind and actions, it seems to Rhosynel that Boromir constantly afraid he’s overstepped or bothered her. He especially seems bothered by the idea of hurting her, and is overly cautious with his actions and words at times. She’s quick to reassure him, quick to confirm she’s fine, but he’ll still apologise more than needed. Boromir’s fear over his actions not being his own is something that lingers for a long while, but she’s working on reassurances and while he might still worry, he’s improving.

PTSD and separation anxiety anyone????
