30th Nárië

Thanks to Alassante it's come to my attention I should include an a/n re: the title:

As per the Encyclopedia of Arda:

Nárië: The sixth month of the year, according to the Stewards' Reckoning of Gondor, following [the month of] Lótessë, and preceding Loëndë, the feast [day] of Midsummer. On a modern calendar, Nárië ran between 23 May and 21 June.

So the title is the date; I was imagining it might become something like July 4th (or 9/11) where the date becomes the memorial or holiday; in this case, the beginning of all out war with Mordor which all Gondor must be hoping would end gloriously or, at least, soon. For Boromir, of course, there was no end to war, just an end to him.
