A four-legged creature
Of the green field

Of the grey stone.

They walk together in war;
In peace each runs his own way.
Who's the Two? Who's the Four?
Can you say?
I can't help wonder if it is Rohan (represented by the flag of a white horse (four legs) on a green field) which owes fealty to the king/steward (two legs) of Gondor (Stoningland to the Rohirrim) since the settlement of Calenardhon and Cirion and Eorl's agreement.

In war they fight together and in peace govern independently
