The sound of hooves and clashing swords echoed in this one. Very well written and evocative! Thanks for sharing. Very Happy smiley face

Had to take a peek at this when I spotted it was about the Rohirrim!

A nice drabble, very evocative of the pride and culture of the people of Rohan. Well done, am glad to see you are posting stories so soon LadyofRohan! Very Happy smiley face

Very sharp imagery. The statement is valid and strongly delivered. If there is anything to be said about this, it would be that the word "and" is used over-abundantly. Also, the line:
"But they were Rohirrim. And a valliant death is better than a life not lived." would benefit from a difference in punctuation.

"But they were Rohirrim, and a valiant death is better than a life not lived."

Also, "...before steel; steel of sword..." should have a comma more than a semi-colon.

And, again in the last line: "They are Rohirrim. And while they draw breath they will fight."
I think a semi-colon here: "They are Rohirrim; and while they draw breath, they will fight."

Just my opinions, mind you. Otherwise, this is everything everyone else has said, and more.
Thank you for sharing. I was happy to find this on the featured story. Too many good fics go unread, I must read every one that is posted. Smile smiley face
