Eorlingas, Arë lang!

Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing? Where is the harp on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing? Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. Who shall gather the smoke of the deadwood burning, Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning? Many greetings to you, strange wanderer. I am King Eorl of Rohan and the Eorlingas - we are the Horse-Lords. This land was recently gifted to my people by the Steward of Gondor and we are moving and cultivating this new land. You indeed are a strange one...I find myself wondering just how far have you wandered... Regardless, you are welcome in these halls. If there is aught what you need, do not hesitate to ask of it. // independant Tolkien RP-blog for Eorl the Young. Mun is of age and lives in Canada.

That awkward moment when you are reading the Silmarillion and you realize that Galadriel, Elrond, and Cirdan are the only ones who made it to Lord of the Rings.

Shall I always be chosen? Shall I always be left behind when the Riders depart, to mind the house while they win renown, and find food and beds when they return?

[excerpts-from-tolkien]

"Eorl then stood forth, and taking his spear from his esquire he set it upright in the ground. Then he drew his sword and cast it up shining in the sun, and catching it again he stepped forward and laid the blade upon the mound, but with his hand still about the hilts. He spoke then in a great voice the Oath of Eorl. This he said in the tongue of the Éothéod, which in the Common Speech is interpreted:

     Hear now all peoples who bow not to the Shadow in the East, by the gift      of the Lord of the Mundburg we will come to dwell in the land that he      names Calenardhon, and therefore I vow in my own name and on behalf      of the Éothéod of the North that between us and the Great People of      the West there shall be friendship for ever: their enemies shall be our      enemies, their need shall be our need, and whatsoever evil, or threat, or      assault may come upon them we will aid them to the utmost end of our      strength. This vow shall descend to my heirs, all such as may come after      me in our new land, and let them keep it in faith unbroken, lest the      Shadow fall upon them and they become accursed. 

Then Eorl sheathed his sword and bowed and went back to his captains.

Cirion then made answer. Standing to his full height he laid his hand upon the tomb and in his right hand held up the white wand of the Stewards, and spoke words that filled those who heard them with awe. For as he stood up the sun went down in flame in the West and his white robe seemed to be on fire; and after he had vowed that Gondor should be bound by a like bond of friendship and aid in all need, he lifted up his voice and said in Quenya:  

     Vanda sina termaruva Elenna·nóreo alcar enyalien ar Elendil Vorondo      voronwë. Nai tiruvantes i hárar mahalmassen mi Númen ar i Eru i or ilyë      mahalmar eä tennoio.  

And again he said in the Common Speech:  

     This oath shall stand in memory of the glory of the Land of the Star, and      of the faith of Elendil the Faithful, in the keeping of those who sit upon      the thrones of the West and of the One who is above all thrones for ever.  

Such an oath had not been heard in Middle-earth since Elendil himself had sworn alliance with Gil-galad King of the Eldar.”

—J.R.R. Tolkien, Unfinished Tales, “Cirion and Eorl” (Cirion the Steward and Eorl the Young swear an eternal alliance between Gondor and Rohan)

"This must be totally bizarre to them. I mean, at least when I look up at them I see Frodo and Sam, and I just play off them, but when they look at me, all they must see is a man in a gimp suit, with a face that makes Jim Carrey’s look relaxed and a voice that sounds like a cat being sick."

He has just as much reason to go to war as you do. Why can he not fight for those he loves?
