Amdiriel is the younger sister of Boromir and Faramir, she is a young Captain of the White City and in love with a Ranger from the North but that was years ago. Now she finds herself banshied from Gondor by her father, and traveling with the Fellows...
Though time was pressing on them there was still a call for celebration. The people of Rohan did, after all, have victory at Helms Deep. Everyone was gathered in the Golden Hall of Edoras for a great feast, and for one night they would forget about the threats on Mordor. Amdiriel wore a dark blue floor-length dress with long light blue sleeves with silver embroidery along the neck and shoulders, followed by her headdress that she had left behind in Rohan long ago that was silver and had a blue stone in the center.

Not a word was said as everyone sat and watched as Éowyn who was dressed in a light baby blue gown, approached the King Théoden with a goblet a wine in her hand. Once in front of her Uncle, she held up the goblet and bowed before him. Theoden stood proud and tall as did Éomer who stood behind him to the right. Théoden then took the cup and Éowyn took her place on the left side of the King behind him, parallel to her brother. At this everyone then stood to their feet, cups of either wine or ale in their hands. Amdiriel stood between Aragorn and Legolas as they stood in the front row and Gimli on the other side of Legolas.
"Tonight we remember all those who gave their blood to defend this country." Théoden said and then held out his goblet. "Hail the victorious dead." he said echoed by his people. "Hail!" they all said and took a drink but Amdireil and Aragorn hesitated for a moment, each thinking of all they lost before taking a drink. Amdiriel sighed as her mind went back to the images of the battle. There was never a true victory without sacrifice, she that but it didn't make it any easier for her when they would lose men.
Before they knew it the party was in full swing, the women were talking amongst themselves at the tables while the men were either eating, drinking, or both.
Almost immediately Gimli started gloating about how much he and his kinsmen could drink Legolas however remained silent until Éomer decided that the honorable way to settle the conflict was by a drinking contest. They along with a group of soldiers got whisked away over to where the barrels of ale were.
Éomer then hands Legolas a pint of ale. "No pauses. No spills." he tells them. "And no regurgitation." Gimli said. Amdiriel was surprised that Legolas said nothing but instead played dumb. She knew he could drink a lot, she had been among the celebrations at Mirkwood, not only was their wine strong than the simple ale of Rohan but elves could drink for a good while before feeling the effects of the alcohol.
