Another ficlet

Two new fics in a month? How strange...

Title: The Heirs of Rohan
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: n/a
Summary: Old kings, new heirs, and the future of the Mark.

Warning: Slight sappiness at the end.

Word count: 1457

Disclaimer: Everything belongs to Tolkien. I just read Appendix A too often.

AN: This came about when I was reading about the kings of Rohan at tuckborough.net, and it mentioned that the third king lived to see the birth of his great-great-grandson. I don’t think even the Elves managed to top that, at least not any that we know. Aldor was the third king of Rohan, living to 101 years and ruling for 75 of them. Fréa, Fréawine, Goldwine and Déor are his canonical descendants, and were kings of Rohan after him. Faegennes, Beda and Edric are OCs, but fit into the canon without any major suspension of disbelief.
