i never realized but OMGGGG
I replied:
Yeah, I’ve always skimmed past the Elfwinë == OE Elendil notes on wiki entries etc, but for some reason I finally just stopped and was like “…wait.” Like, Elendil was A+++, but it’s difficult to see why Éomer would care that much about him. It’s Lothíriel who has the connections to Elendil—and even so, it would be quite the gesture to use his name.
(Elendil founded HER nation! He gave the title of prince to HER house! But also even the heirs of Elendil didn't throw around his name.)
