All of Aldarion’s efforts in Middle-earth were swept away with time and tide; we’ll have to wait awhile to see about all of Alan’s efforts on the podcast. Join The Man of the West and The Shieldmaiden of Rohan as we begin our two-episode conclusion on Aldarion and Erendis, looking at the ‘notes and jottings’ that make up The Further Course of the Narrative. Tar-Aldarion sailed in from Armenelos BOAC, didn’t get to bed last night; Erendis has much to say about the men of Númenor; and Hallatan gets an unexpected promotion. We compare Aldarion to a bowl of pears, spend too much time Beatling it, and design our ‘What Would Tar-Aldarion Do?’ bracelets. Also, Tolkien says Erendis was right.
