I was reading Appendix A and I ran across this quote regarding the Fourth Age that I don't think I ever noticed before:

In Gondor the King Elessar now ruled, and in Arnor also. In all the lands of those realms of old he was king, save in Rohan only; for he renewed to Éomer the gift of Cirion, and Éomer took again the Oath of Eorl. Often he fulfilled it. For though Sauron had passed, the hatreds and evils that he bred had not died, and the King of the West had many enemies to subdue before the White Tree could grow in peace. And wherever King Elessar went with war King Éomer went with him; and beyond the Sea of Rhûn and on the far fields of the South the thunder of the cavalry of the Mark was heard, and the White Horse upon Green flew in many winds until Éomer grew old.

I didn't realize that Eomer and Aragorn fought a lot of battles together after the War of the Ring. I mean, I imagined there was clean up to do still, but this quote seems to imply a lot of war and glory for them both.

Has anyone written about this? If so, let me know the link because I would like to read this story. If not, it might make an interesting story for those of you good at writing Men.

Hi Ellisk,

as a matter of fact, I've been writing such a story together with another author for over a year. I'm still in the middle of posting it (it's a bit on th e*epic* side) here and on fanfiction.net.

The title is "Twilight of the Gods". Hope you like it. Smile

I'm sure they are stories with that theme in mind, but a lot of time people write AU about Eomer's life after the war and only throw in a few sentences about his travels with Aragorn.

I'm sure a story that focuses just on their "adventures" together would be a great hit.

Well, it was a hit at least three times with Kat LOL sign

Ell, I'm good at riding men but I have never been able to tell stories about them. This was one of my hugest pet peeves with the movies. Eomer and Aragorn were much closer friends than Aragorn and the Legume. Legumbre was more Gimli's pet and Eomer was always at Aragorn's side from the time Aragorn threatened to kick his ass cuz he was the future king on the plains of Rohan. The real Aragorn didn't mumble and whine, but I don't wannaaaaa be the kiiiing, I wanna kill stuff and smell funky. Sorry, but the dynamic between Aragorn and Eomer was one of my favorite elements of the books and sensitive but determined and brave Aragorn was NOT Viggo. It was so sweet when he got all butt hurt when Frodo said if he weren't trustworthy he would smell fairer and feel fowler (why was Frodo feeling the king?). Aragorn looked like he wanted to kick the shit out of him in the movie. And the whole, kiss my butt you ain't touching my sword unless its while I'm impaling you with it, scene in Meduseld...so sexay.

You know, I laughed at the first line of this paragraph but by the time I got to the end of it, I decided that you really need to cut back on the drugs. Ghetto. Very Happy I mean, did you actually read what you wrote? It just twists around and gets crazier and crazier. I'm a little frightened. Shocked Crazy Outta here
