Aldarion claims to ask for only two years, but takes a lot more; Alan and Sara ask for only two hours, and only take a little bit more. Join The Man of the West and the Shieldmaiden of Rohan as we begin to discover that maybe we should have asked for more than 10 episodes in the story of Aldarion and Erendis from Unfinished Tales. Ancalimë, the daughter of Aldarion and Erendis, is born just in time for Aldarion to let her down; the King’s Heir proves to be as blind as he can be, just sees what he wants to see; and Núneth once again proves that motherly advice is not always good advice. We decide to stop long enough to smell the Oiolairë, note that guile is the last thing we want the Valar to send our children, and wonder if Aldarion just used the Númenórean version of “calm down, woman”. Also, we’d buy tickets to see Turuphanto in concert.
