Anaratan

Anaratan, great-uncle to Lord Vorondir, is the living chronicle of Garvirionath, having ridden in his youth with Ecthelion the Second against the Corsairs at the haven of Pelargir. Sixty winters have whitened his hair but not dimmed the iron in his glance, and the household defers to his counsel in matters of lineage and oath. He holds firm with Denethor, saying that an old house keeps its word though the heavens fall.
