Rowan was a Man of the village of Tirharad, in the Southlands.
Biography[]
He resented the Elven occupation of his home, and in one instance angrily confronted Arondir in the village's tavern. He was a friend of Theo, Bronwyn's son, and was present when Theo stole from Waldreg's barn an ancient sword fragment bearing the mark of Sauron.[1]
With the rest of Tirharad's population, he fled to the Elven watchtower of Ostirith after the threat of Orcs commanded by Adar became apparent. Food stores quickly ran low, and Rowan reluctantly went with Theo back to Tirharad to scavenge for supplies. He returned alone to Ostirith, however, when the sun became covered with clouds, fearing the Orcs.[2]
After Arondir brought Adar's message to Ostirith, Rowan followed Waldreg to submit to Adar. Adar told Waldreg he must kill Rowan with a dagger in order to prove his allegiance, and Waldreg reluctantly did so, ending Rowan's life.[3]
