<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Another distinct possibility is that it is Arwen that reminds Aragorn of the Paths of the Dead. You can be pretty sure she wasn't leaving for Grey Havens in Two Towers and I would put pretty good money she's got a reforged Narsil under that cloak.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>That sounds like a distinct possibility indeed, HC! I suppose she will also carry the standard she made for him? It would be visually impressive, anyway, and I can't see any other way to get it to him if the Dunedain and Elrond's sons are not to be coming along. That Arwen has to have a pretty big cloak! The Arwen moment I am most looking forward to (and have no idea if it will come off as I imagine, but have hopes for) is her offer of her place on the ship to the Blessed Land to Frodo at the end of his quest. It is an exchange of melancholy victories--Arwen with her bittersweet choice of mortality but also the choice of her love for Aragorn...and Frodo with his choice to leave the Shire and the Middle Earth he fought to save, only to lose it himself. No complaints here if it does not come off the way I imagine, but I very much hope it will!<P>Cheers,<BR>Lyta
