This really moved me how Bergil tried to stay strong. But when he saw Faramir at last in a very bad condition, he cried.

I always love the many minor characters in ROTK. For as many times as I've read it, or seen the films, I never feel like I remember it as well as the first two books. Love Beregond!

Tolkien does such a good job with minor characters! I'm glad you enjoyed a deep dive on Beregond ❤️

Haven’t read the books in over twenty years and this really makes me want to dive back in. Thanks for the inspiration.
