Beneath Your Feet 14: The Cuthstan

We are getting closer and closer to Rohan! So with this 14th episode, I have a look at the new(ish) Great River region, specifically the Cuthstan a great statue erected to remind us of the friendship between Gondor and Rohan

Please be sure to comment, as I always appreciate feedback (positive or negative) and feel free to email me with any questions or additions.

Correction: In the podcast I talk about ‘Earendel’ being some wanderer. This is not entirely correct as Earendel, in the Crist poem, is meant to mean ‘Morningstar’ and traditionally seems to be held as a reference to John the Baptist. My bad. Old English professors, help me out!

Here are this episode’s links…

• Crist II by Cynewulf (Old English)

• The Cuthstan
• Battle of the Field of Celebrant
