Arwen in RotK, Haldir in the Halls of Mandos
Piper

This might help you a bit, Pip! I think I might have come up with the storyline for Arwen in RotK.

A bit ago I found part of a storyline of Return of the King, which stated that Arwen was with Aragorn when he looked into the Palantir and during the Paths of the Dead, and that she would give him the re-forged Narsil. And someone also said that in TTT, maybe she wasn't going across the sea but to Lothlorien. We also know they changed him looking into the stone from Helm's Deep to Edoras (we have pictures!)

So... maybe she was going to Lothlorien, and joined the Dunadain when they were called by Galadriel and came from the North to aid Aragorn! Would that not work? There is a picture of her going around whre she is wearing a sort of peach-colored cloak and the background looks a lot like that of Rohan - maybe it's from there.

This probably isn't true, but it is a possibility! And, in thinking of a MOVIE, it would add to the Aragorn Eowyn Arwen love-triangle dilemma. Any thoughts? I know it probably doesn't make sense, but it's not even 12 yet and I'm still asleep!

ALSO!! - If you look on theOneRing.net, on June 1st's news, there is an article about Haldir being in the Halls of Mandos and saying something near the end of the movie - but that's just in the Rough Cut. (Which may give light to the Elves issue!) Has anyone else checked it out?

Any thoughts?
