Reply To: Imrahil, Prince of Dol Amroth

Huoommm … Gavin, that was some of my thoughts were about after the release of the MS470 Eomer, swiping away his sweat from the forhead, starting to greet Aragorn at the end of the battle at the ‘Pelennor Fields’. … But to me an important figure still was missing. Of course I’m not talking about Gandalf. Let me try to explain:
When I for the first time read that trilogy and came upon those pages when the battle at the Pelennor Fields was won, there was a Prince with his knights smashing a flank of the Mordor troops … you couldn’t believe why those Swan-Knights arrived … and who took the decision to place them in time to put another threat on the Mordor masses … in time, when Aragorn unleashed the Undead from the Corsair’s vessels.
So to me it was clear that ‘Prince Imrahil’ has to fit with the Aragorn&Eomer- vignette. First I imagined that Imrahil holding his head up (greeting Minas Tirith and bearing the standard of the ‘Swan knighs’, proudly, but battered. Then Chris suggested that it would be better to have the angle of the head being more focused sideways and down … so things happen …. and in the end find a solution ….
thank you …
