The mother of my original protagonist Idrin in Edged in Silver is Denethor II’s canonical sister and is a year older than him.

Most of the information about the climate of Gondor in The Lord of the Rings concerns Ithilien, with various other bits scattered throughout the book. As with my little study on Rohan’s climate, vegetation and wildlife, I found all that could be found in Tolkien’s writings and applied what is known about climate zones and habitats to it to form more detailed conclusions.

In my headcanon for my fanfic Edged in Silver, it is custom for a Gondorian man to gift his bride-to-be with a bird-shaped brooch when they plight their troth.

In my headcanon for Edged in Silver, Éothain is Éomer’s first cousin on his father’s side, and the Captain of his household éored.

I had always been fascinated by the descriptions of the rolling grasslands of Rohan in The Lord of the Rings, and thought how interesting it would be to have a more detailed account of the country’s climate, vegetation and wildlife. So, I gathered every bit of canonical information found in Tolkien’s books and letters concerning the subject, and applied the available knowledge on habitats and climate to those findings in order to form conclusions.

‘Pauline Baynes drew her inspiration for F. Giles largely from mediaeval MS. drawings – except for the knights (who are a bit ‘King-Arthurish’) the style seems to fit well enough. Except that males, especially in northern parts such as the Shire, would wear breeches, whether hidden by a cloak or long mantle, or merely accompanied by a tunic. I have no doubt that in the area envisaged by my story (which is large) the ‘dress’ of various peoples, Men and others, was much diversified in the Third Age, according to climate, and inherited custom … The styles of the Bayeux Tapestry (made in England) fit [the Rohirrim] well enough, if one remembers that the kind of tennis-nets [the] soldiers seem to have on are only a clumsy conventional sign for chain-mail of small rings.’ (The Letters of JRR Tolkien, Letter#211)
