Under the Shadow of the White Tower by Elowen Laurelin | ⚔️A Song for Faramir⚔️

Under the Shadow of the White Tower is a heartfelt tribute to Faramir, Captain of Gondor—a noble, understated, and deeply human character. While often overlooked amid war and prophecy, Faramir stands apart not through power, but through wisdom, compassion, and quiet courage. This song celebrates his journey from the ruins of Osgiliath, through his struggle for honor under a failing father, to the healing and hope he finds with Éowyn. In this piece I wanted to capture everything that makes Faramir special: his gentleness in a world of violence, his courage without arrogance, his refusal to accept the Ring when many others fell, his rebirth and peace in the Houses of Healing, and his legacy as a steward who led through empathy, not fear. Whether you love The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien’s worldbuilding, or emotional fantasy-inspired music, I hope this song transports you back into Middle-earth—into the forests of Ithilien, the halls of Minas Tirith, and the quiet strength of a man who did not wish for such things.
