@tolkienocweek // day two // shipping // éomer x fealasse

Fealasse was an elleth born during the Noontide of Valinor, who came to Beleriand with Ñolofinwë’s host. She lived through the Ages of Arda, and met Éomer Éadig during the Battle of Hornburg, fighting alongside him in the dusk of the Third Age. They came together in mutual admiration and affection, surprising many due to the disinterest both had shown in the past in the union of marriage. When Éomer rode to war alongside Elessar, he entrusted the rule of the Riddermark to his Queen, Fealasse, who guarded the Rohirrim fiercely in his absence.

They were blessed with many children: Sunnwyn, Burnwyn, Dawyn, Trygve, Ethelfrith, Laywyn, Fastred, and Mildwyn. King Éomer insisted on naming all of his daughters with the suffix -wyn to honor the two women who had been the greatest of joys in his life: his sister, Éowyn, and his wife, Fealasse.

Eventually, though, all things must end. Éomer passed of old age, as was the way of Men, and Fealasse was left bereaved, for she had not the Choice given to Luthien and her descendants. Their eldest son, Trygve, took up his father’s seat. Shortly after ensuring a smooth transition, Fealasse departed Edoras. Although it is said that she kept in contact with her children and close friends, she never made another public appearance, and whither she now dwells, none can say.
