Lyra Greenleaf has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril

there were ruling queens in westernesse, numenor, but i'm pretty sure they were called queens, rather than kings.

by the way, was the fact that the men of numenor were going downwards, the reason they had women in charge? do you think it was some sort of thing by tolkien saying that strong men would never allow a woman?
