Flowers of the Citadel
In Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings, Finduilas, the mother of Boromir and Faramir, died in 2988, when Boromir was ten and Faramir was five.
This story is an attempt to answer queries that some people might well have asked, but have never really gotten around to answering: what if she had not died then? What if she had lived on for a while longer; and even conceived a third child, and carried it the full nine months? And what would happen when the child was born?
In this I will attempt to answer all those questions, rolled into one story, though separated into four books within the story.
The first book is set in Minas Tirith, before the main plot of The Lord of the Rings starts, as the brothers and their sibling grow up together.
The second book is focused mainly on Boromir, as he journeys North and becomes involved in the events of the original plot of The Fellowship of the Ring
The third book centres around Faramir, as the action of The Two Towers begins to affect him in Ithilien.
The fourth book returns the main characters to Minas Tirith, and integrates them with the events that play out from the beginning of Return of the King.
Hopefully, those questions will be answered, in the best possible way.
It is the year 2989 – nearly 2990 – and Finduilas has just given birth to her first daughter. That is where this story begins.
Note: For those of you who have been following this story avidly, I have decided to rejig it. This means that I have reworked the general idea of the story a little. It will still be basically the same, but set out in a different manner. Love and kudos to you all!
