@aspecardaweek day four | worldbuilding | aro eärnur & boromir
Eärnur was a man like his father in valour, but not in wisdom. He was a man of strong body and hot mood; but he would take no wife, for his only pleasure was in fighting, or in the exercise of arms. [...] Boromir, five years the elder, beloved by his father, was like him in face and pride, but in little else. Rather he was a man after the sort of King Eärnur of old, taking no wife and delighting chiefly in arms; fearless and strong, but caring little for lore, save the tales of old battles.
—The Lord of the Rings: Appendix A, “Gondor and the Heirs of Anárion”

(probably only after faramir was like 'hey this king reminds me of you'...)#also: i don't go with the 'no descendants of elros have beards' meta. no plenty of them do.#BUT the line of dol amroth SPECIFICALLY has that trait and boromir's mom is finduilas of dol amroth so :)#i think she passed that down to her sons :)
