Henneth Annûn: The Window on the West, by Miriam Ellis.

“It was as if they stood at the window of some elven-tower, curtained with threaded jewels of silver and gold, and ruby, sapphire and amethyst, all kindled with an unconsuming fire.” —J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers, Book 4, Chapter 5: The Window on the West

The forests of western Ithilien, requested by @mysarcasticgreencrayon

This board was really fun to make because the forests here are different than a lot of the other forests in Tolkien’s works. I definitely want to make some environment posts for this region!

Many of the plants featured here including asphodel, thyme and terebrinth are mentioned in canon!

obviously Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli would know all about conducting themselves in a courtly manner. Aragorn learned from Elrond and spent time in Gondor beforehand, Legolas is a prince and Gimli is a lord. But it's crucial to me that they forget it all or forget to care. (Because they do forget, in the books and movies. Aragorn's diplomatic skills fly out the window whenever somebody asks for Anduril, Legolas AND Gimli threaten to kill a king's nephew several times over heated words, and they're very used to being filthy, ragged and so wild people mistake them for fairy tales.)

So rather than to imagine they were completely out of their depth as King and Lords after the war of the ring I cling to the belief that they were very bizarre to be around but that it was a conscious choice because they could not be arsed.

It's not that Aragorn doesn't know he's supposed to be waited on, but he's a firm believer in 'eat when you can' and he will gut that wild fowl he caught himself when he's in an official delegation headed to Important Negotiations. It's not that Legolas doesn't know you don't stroll in the middle of a council meeting still muddy and bloodstained from a hunt, he's just on a tight schedule. It's not Gimli doesn't know you're not supposed to sleep on top of the battlements but he's tired and he has a free half hour and that was the closest flat surface. Completely undomesticated behavior all around but in a completely deliberate way.
