King Thengel of Rohan and Morwen Steelsheen's first of four children, a daughter, was named Mædwyn (b. 2945 - d. 3012). The second child was King Théoden (b. 2948) and last was Lady Théodwyn (b. 2963 - d. 3002). Their third child and second daughter died due to illness at the age of 7 in 2959.
Princess Mædwyn wed Lord Dêorlic (b. 2930 - d. 3000) of Helm's Deep, Second Marshal of the Mark, in 2966. The couple had two daughters, the elder of whom, Lady Grishild (b. 2970) married Lord Angbor (b. 2965) of Lamedon, Gondor in 2994. To them, Lady Dannasell of Lamedon was born in 2996. Thus making her - and her two younger brothers- first cousin once removed of King Éomer (b. 2991).
Lord Angbor's sister, Lady Aeriel (b. 2962-d. 3009) was wed to Prince Imrahil (b. 2955) of Dol Amroth in 2984. She died in a shipwreck caused by a storm in the Bay of Belfalas when returning from a ritualistic festival held on the island of Tolfalas, while her son Elphir survived. She left behind her husband and four children, the youngest of whom was Lothíriel (b. 2999).
Lothíriel was betrothed to her first cousin, Boromir (b. 2978 - d. 3019), son of Denethor, Steward of Gondor, in January of 3018. Though marriage between first cousins was not per se prohibited, since they considered each other in sibling-like terms, their match was protested heavily. When Boromir died at Amon Hen, Lothíriel mourned his passing as a bereaved betrothed. Because, despite their initial reservations about the match, they had grown closer to each other and she had begun to reconcile herself with a future as his wife. In time, her path would entwine with that of Aragorn, son of Arathorn, heir of Elendil.
Aragorn, Chieftain of the Dúnedain, fell in love with an Elven lady - Arwen Undómiel at the age of 20. For years to come, their love would grow but remain unfulfilled as her father would not give his daughter away to a mere ranger. It was only when the One Ring was found that hope for a future together, where Aragorn had claimed the throne of Gondor, had awakened. But the Ring affected Arwen deeply when she rescued Frodo Baggins from the Ringwraiths. She had given her Grace to save the Hobbit - a decision that left her vulnerable to the growing darkness. Before the Fellowship of the ring even departed, Arwen had started fading and Aragorn urged her to sail for Aman. Faced with the risk of becoming a wraith, she left Arda and her mortal love with a heavy heart, never to return.
Aragorn learned of her departure from Lady Galadriel in Lothlórien, where she gifted him the Elfstone as a last token of Arwen. After surviving the War of the Ring and restoring the throne of Gondor, his fate would lead him to Lothíriel of Dol Amroth. This is their story.
