Jubilant Potluck by Grundy

Finduilas

Prompt: Finduilas of Dol Amroth from Potluck "Write Her Story" board (HelenFloraW)

Finduilas blinked, uncertain. Perhaps it was a joke?

“I have namesakes?” she asked.

Gildor nodded, grinning.

“Many of them over the years,” he told her. “It became a very popular name among Men in Gondor, particularly for eldest daughters of noble houses. I believe there was even a princess or two of Gondor. None of them looked like you, though.”

Finduilas gave him a look.

“Most of the nobility of Gondor were dark haired. Not a golden head among them for generations – they were almost as bad as the Numenoreans about ‘pure bloodlines’.”

She sighed.

“Tell me again about Numenor?”
