Chronicle and/or Tale
It looks as if Tolkien Gateway is missing a reference to either the Chronicle of Cirion and Eorl or the title Tale of Cirion and Eorl? I am merely pointing these out, but I am not prepared to write them myself. Ed8r (talk) 18:02, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
- I think that either Chronicle of Cirion and Eorl or Tale of Cirion and Eorl would work as the page name. As Mark Fisher points out on the Encyclopedia of Arda, it is possible that they were two separate in-universe texts, with the Tale of Cirion and Eorl "describing more of the events leading up to the Oath of Cirion and Eorl…whereas the Chronicle simply describes their meeting and its outcome".Dour1234 (talk) 18:37, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
