Bestowal Dialogue
'Hirluin's daughter is named Nauriel, and she is high in the order of knights that protects Pinnath Gelin; it is the tradition in this land that women may also wield sword and sceptre. She is married to Carandolion, who is the brother of Duinhir of the Blackroot Vale, though I recall the two are quite different in temper. The son of Nauriel and Carandolion is named Thorongil, and must now be about ten years old.'
Elessar nods.
'Yes, I am afraid Hirluin spoke often of our campaign in Umbar, and while it has been many years since I wore the name "Thorongil," his grandson was given that name in remembrance of me. I would prefer you not speak of it to Nauriel or her son. There must be few in Outer Gondor these days who know the warrior Thorongil and the King Elessar for the same man, and I would like to keep it that way.
'Ost Arndír is to the north-east of Iáphel. Let us travel there now before Grethril burdens our pack-horses with more bottles of wine than we need. To speak honestly, this may have happened already.'

Raiders from Umbar, too, have come up the rivers in small boats and harry our people. But I see warriors among your company, and if they exercise caution they should fear little.
