eowyn and Faramir
Whwere did they live? Faramir being Steward and Eowyn being queen(was she. I can't remember.) Even if she wasn't I doubt she would want to leave Rohan. Maybe they had a summer home somewhere in the middle.

They went to live in Ithilien. (That was the area where Faramir first encountered Frodo and Sam - where the waterfall and cave was).
Aragorn granted this area to Faramir as his Princedom. I think it would have been a beautiful place to live.

More specifically, I think it says they would live in Emyn Arnen... a small clump of mountains just SE of Minas Tirith - indeed in Ithilien.
Once cleansed of evil, I think it would've been like the countryside of northern Italy.

That would have been about the same latitude, by my calculations.

cool very nice. but why did eowyn leave rohan. I mean rohan wsas where her people were where her "father" Theoden lived and died for. I cant believe she would leave it so easily. I know she visits but still.

My wife thinks that these days, married couples more often gravitate toward the wife's family. That's true in our case... and one reason she'd like a daughter (a little afraid all her sons will abandon her in favor of their in-laws).

Yes I agree thats the way things were done in the old times. Just like women who werent allowed to fight. Eru I am glad that never happened especially to Eowyn. But seriously Eowyn was not a normal female and Faramir would have respected that. She was a warrior and a leader. How could she abandon her land so easily.

Besides, Faramir was Prince of Ithilien as well as Hereditary Steward of Gondor. He would have had many duties, and needed Éowyn's help.

I know that all of that makes sense but it just seems odd to me that she would leave the country that she loved so much and fought for and the country she grew up in, and the country all her friends lived. ITs just a little odd. Im not sayingits unreasonable but its just a little odd to me.

She then devotes herself to healing, which would have been sorely needed in Ithilien. |

Of course, it would have been hard and there would have been tears! But she loved Faramir and her position with him would be as noble as her position in Rohan. Here's a real life example for you: I used to live about 1000 miles away from my birth family and only got to see them about once a year, twice if I could work it out. Believe me, there were plenty of tears whenever it was time for a visit to be over. But I had also made a life for myself 1000 miles away from them and when I had to leave those folks, there were plenty of tears on that end too. It's just the price one pays for loving 'cause you can't be in two places at the same time. |

Yet I'm guessing she would see Eomer again, him being King of Rohan and everything.

In Appendix A it is mentioned that Eomer travelled often with Aragorn in the years following the War of the Ring and went often to Gondor. Eomer also married the daughter of Imrahil of Dol Amroth so I'm sure he would have had frequent contact with Eowyn.

Don't forget that Eowyn also went back to Rohan for Theoden's funeral, so she could have gotten her stuff and said her goodbyes then. Not without tears, surely.

Yeah in The Steward and the King when Faramir says that if she will he will wed her she replied that she must first return to Rohan and help Eomer sought things out.

So she went back to Rohan settled her affairs and then moved to Faramirs digs and they lived happily ever after.
