I said this early last year, but it seems worth repeating now. ;)

Let me emphasize this is TS talking and completely unofficial - I postulate the Eorlingas would've actually called Aragorn "Eärn". He notes that he wore "many different names" in his travels. Eärn means "Eagle" in Rohirric. Thorongil as many of you doubtless know, means "Eagle of the Star". It beggars belief that the Ecthelion, who was friends with Thengel, wouldn't have known that "Eärn" had served with him.
Yes, I recall that, now that you mention it. So, the Rohirric Eärn could be rendered as 'The Eagle' in Westron, lending support to the notation in Horselords of Rohan. I'm sure that Aragorn's appellation in Rohan was a factor in the coining of the later name of 'Thorongil'. The 'Star' in Thorongil comes from the star-shaped brooch that he wore (which becomes Cultural Heirloom the Star of the Dúnedain from the Rivendell sourcebook).
"Far, far below the deepest delvings of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things. Even Sauron knows them not. They are older than he."

OK, so I admit, I am a bit confused. Is Bree coming out before oaths?

Right, but I swear I already pre-ordered Oaths at my FLGS... Hmm, I must be remembering something wrong.
