So.... what if Eomer had asked questions later rather than sooner?
"Hmmmm orc friends, perhaps? A strange sword this one carried. And is this an elf? Since when were elves orc friends? Oh dear, I think we may have made a mistake. Ah well, keep quiet and no one will notice.... Burn the bodies, lads!"
So, no Aragorn, no Gimli and no Legolass...... that would change things at Rohan, Helms Deep and the Pelennor fields. Arwen would go with her father to The Undying Lands......
Hmm. You've got me thinking V.
OK. Here goes.
First, Gandalf, when he would come to know that the three of them are dead, he would try to locate anyone who was responsible. I think with Shadowfax with him, he would probably have found Eomer and his men and would come to know what had happened and he would be sad. But then, he'd make it Edoras with them anyway. He'd then, umm, free Theoden and I think they'd still go to Helm's Deep and all without those three. There in the actual battle, I think, orcs would still lose, but probably take many more mens' lives. But, I think the important ones like Eomer, Hama and Theoden would still survive.
Then I can safely jump directly to the part where the rangers come in. I think Gandalf would be wise enough to pick up Anduril anyways. But then, it would be useless, because now, there is no King left (Thinking of the Dead at this point, by the way what were they called? Can't recollect it).
Now, I can't continue at this point, because I do not know what would happen to the Kingship, because I guess no one has spoken about the throne of Gondor in my other thread "King". I think two threads of mine have crossed. I hope someone answers me there, because, I'm stuck here!!
