Ecthelion III
For the Greater Good

=== History ===

If I can expand a little on Tolkien's great world, I will say that Ecthelion III, aka me, is the son of Barahir, who may have been the son of Elboron, who was the son of Faramir, the first Steward of Gondor under King Elessar Telcontar. This would make Ecthelion III the Fourth Steward of Gondor after the crowning of King Elessar Telcontar.

King Elessar rennewed the appointment of Faramir as Steward, saying that as long as Faramir's line would last, his descendants would be Stewards. He also declared him Prince of Ithilien and Lord of Emyn Arnen. Thus, he became one of the King's greatest advisors and commanders. Faramir later married Eowyn of Rohan and they had at least one son, Elboron.

'''Warning!: Most of the following about the Stewards is non-canonical and was not mentioned by J.R.R. Tolkien. '''

Faramir married Eowyn of Rohan, and they had at least one son, Elboron, who became Stewad, Prince of Ithilien, and Lord of Emyn Armen after Faramir's death in FA 82. Assuming that this is true, Faramir lived about 120 years. Assuming that Elboron and Barahir lived about as long as Faramir, assuming that Faramir was 40 when Elboron was born (in year FA 2), assuming that Elboron was about 40 when Barahir was born, assuming Barahir was 40 when Ecthelion III was born, and assuming that King Elessar's son Eldarion lived from FA 43 to FA 220 and ruled from FA 120 to FA 220 as has been noted, Elboron must have died in FA 122, Barahir must have died in the year FA 202, so that means that Ecthelion III was born in about FA 82.
