editors note: An earlier clue said that the solution to the riddle can be found in the chapter Minas Tirith. This is in error. While mentioned in this chapter, the actual description is to be found in another chapter: The Steward and the King. My apologies for any inconvenience or frustration. |

sounds almost like how Faramir would have thought of Eowyn, or at least her "raiment", but I am sure that isnt it.
the other one sounds like the lady who worked in the houses of the healing who was always talking about the healing hands of the king

"bright argent like snow in the sun, bearing no charge nor device..." In the description of Minas Tirith it states that the "banner of the Stewards floated a thousand feet above the plain." It was lowered for the last time upon Aragorns ascending the throne of Gondor when Faramir surrendered his post. Well done jerseydevil and thankyou for participating in the riddling thread. Honorable mention to SGH, without whose help y'all would still be scratching your noggins. Dishonorable mention to our Dunedain expert Valandil, who had no clue throughout the whole process....
