linaewen: (Boromir in Lorien)
Here is something I prepared for a Lothlorien theme day some time ago.  It seems a fitting item to share today as it ends with March 28!  I haven't been good at keeping up with the Back to Middle-Earth Month, so I'm glad I didn't miss being able to share something significant that goes with the day.

Ever wonder what Galadriel was up to after she said farewell to the Company? Here's a brief timeline, gleaned from the Tale of Years in the Appendix of LOTR, with help from Michael Perry's book Untangling Tolkien.

February 17

Galadriel, having bid farewell to the Fellowship the day before, sends Gwaihir the Eagle to search for Gandalf. He is found on Mount Zirak-Zigal, and is carried to Lothlorien, where he recovers his strength and is clothed in white by Galadriel.

March 7

While Frodo is being taken to Henneth Annun by Faramir, and Aragorn approaches Dunharrow and the Paths of the Dead, Galadriel sends word to Treebeard to warn him that she has foreseen Sauron's attack upon Lothl
órien.

March 11

While Gollum visits Shelob and Faramir heads for Osgiliath, Eastern Rohan is invaded and Lorien is attacked by Sauron's forces issuing from Dol Guldur. On the second day of the battle, the attacking force is defeated by the Ents in Rohan.

March 16

While the Battle of the Pelennor rages, Lorien is attacked a second time but the forces of evil are thrown back.

March 22

As the Host of the West slowly approaches Mordor, and Frodo turns towards Mount Doom, Lorien is assaulted a third time, but stands firm.

March 28

While Frodo and Sam lie asleep, recovering from their ordeal, Celeborn crosses the Anduin and destroys Dol Guldur.

"Three times Lórien had been assailed from Dol Guldur, but besides the valour of the Elven people of that land, the power that dwelt there was too great for any to overcome, unless Sauron had come there himself. Though grievous harm was done to the fair woods on the borders, the assaults were driven back; and when the Shadow passed, Celeborn came forth and led the host of Lórien over Anduin in many boats. They took Dol Guldur, and Galadriel threw down its walls and laid bare its pits, and the forest was cleansed." (The Tale of Years)

And speaking of  the Golden Wood,  here is a favorite picture of mine, that does not fall into the timeline presented above, but is worth sharing nonetheless.


 
There are a few days left in the month of March, so hopefully I won't let them pass unremembered, without another wee something to share!

I saw your post on the 12 step program for sean bean addicts and would love to post it on our site!! I cannot wait to read more of your fan fics. Talk to you soon. Carla

Thank you! Faramirgirl is one of my staunch readers, bless her! I see you have friended me and I shall friend you back.

I will check and see if I can find where I got thatt 12 step program from in the first place, in case there is some crediting involved -- otherwise, I don't mind at all if you post it at your site. It's funny and sobering at the same time, lol!

I have a new chapter almost ready to post in the Lords of Gondor fanfic I am writing. I was thinking of printing and sending the most recent chapters to FG, since she has trouble getting online these days. I'll try to get to that soon!

Thanks for saying hello -- and when you talk to FG next, tell her I send my love and that I'm thinking of her.
