Notes:

As I mentioned in the notes for Day 3, in my AU Boromir was named the Prince of Osgilath, Lord of Anórien by Aragorn. Since Osgiliath is still being rebuilt, he and his wife and daughter are living in Minas Tirith.

There is a little bit of a flashback in the first part, but it shouldn't be too confusing.

Year 3 of the Fourth Age
