Message: <blockquote data-quote="Laurefindel" data-source="post: 8535555" data-attributes="member: 67296">Bumping Bard (from hobbit) from local hero to hero of the realm: direct descendant of the kings of Dale, carries the battle skills (longbow archery) of his house, can understand the speech of animals (sign of noble lineage), and can one-shot a dragon mid-flight by aiming an arrow through missing scales, becomes a wise king and friend of dwarves; that’s beyond local hero tier.Also bumping Eomer from local hero to hero of the realm: Son of a king, rides with (and leads) the best knights across his father’s realms in defiance of his orders, slays wandering bands of orcs (and uruk-hai), rises to take the place of his fallen older brother, becomes king of his own land, fights alongside and become fast friend of a legendary king (Aragorn). We are witnessing his graduation from local hero to hero of the realm.Adding Glorfindel (of Rivendell) to Master of the world; one of the last who could claim this title alongside Galadriel.</blockquote>
