Nephew of King Theoden, Eomer was a captain in the King's calvary. When Theoden chose to rally to the defense of Gondor and ride to Minas Tirith, Eomer accompanied him, hurling his spear and swinging his sword against the forces of Mordor in the battle to protect the White City and the hope of all Middle-earth. In the aftermath of battle, when the bitter pain of lost friends tinged the pure blowing of the victory horn with sadness, Eomer stood alongside his companions in his finest armor, honoring their memory with hope for the future they died to protect.
