The Sun


Denethor watched with pride as his firstborn stepped forward to accept the baton of command from Lossenglad, taking upon himself the rank of Captain-General of all of Gondor’s forces. He smiled to see that today Boromir had chosen to wear a red mantle rather than the sober black and silver ordinarily worn by his officers, his horn hung from a new baldric, its silver accents reflecting the Sun’s beams in all directions.

With Boromir in command, the light of victory would gleam into every hollow and fold of the land!
