Defining an Asphodel:
ἀσφόδελος The flowers of the dead. The one peaceful place said to come of Hades are the meadows of the dead covered in Asphodelos.Translated into Englishἀσφόδελος means daffodil however a true Asphodel is a white flower that was traditionally planted around graves. In Greek mythology, it is described as a pale yellow deathless kind of lily flower that overspreads the plains of Hades and is the favorite food of the dead.
The Guardian of Kings Past
Gied sculon singan gleomenn sorgiende on Meduselde
That heo mano arer his truc ne deores
On meagorinc deorcas, belu
Asphodelos, Guardian of Kings is my name and I am the immortal who tends the graves of Kings. Watching over their mortal place of burial so that their soul may remain free amongst the great halls of their fathers. To fail means their soul's eternal damnation. A eternity away from the ones they loved on earth. Failure is not an option
Symbols of peace and tranquility. A sea of white amongst the green of summer. A reminder to the living that many have paid the ultimate sacrifice so that they may be at peace. My flowers serve as reminders of those who once were. Small white delicate flowers that should not exist in the windy, open, harsh terrain amongst the hills of Edoras but do and come back every year without human aid. While symbols of death and sorrow these flowers serve as a reminder that those who have passed are now at peace. An undisturbed peace watched over by a Guardian.
Guardians have been referred to as a last hope for all those who've been left behind. A guiding hand in a time of darkness. I guide souls to the other side. Away from their moral bound forms into limitless eternity. Assurance for those they've left behind that their soul has for eternity come home. Most importantly I am a guardian of Kings. Kings who have shepherded over the land of Rohan for Centuries defending mankind from almost seemingly inevitable horrific ends. Kings who's lives are often cut short by battle. Awakening in my land they realize they have departed their own world. Fear, Anger, Sorrow, and Pain often fill their eyes as they watch their own funeral marches. Saying goodbye to the ones they love takes time and when they are ready I lead them away into eternity to the every bountiful hall of Gondor Kings.
Let them find peace after death
