Now, when Denethor was dead, Faramir was the new steward of the city. But his injury was so hard that he had to remain in the houses of healing. There he met Éowyn and they both fell in love together. So when Aragorn returned he was not longer steward and Aragorn gave him Ithilien and he lived there with Éowyn. Then Aragorn and Gandalf searched for the white tree which once stood on the place before his tower in Minas Tirith. The old tree was rotten and dead but Aragorn found a young sapling of the tree and planted it in the place of the old. And there it grew until the kings of West ended.
Some months later Elrond arrived with lots of his people to congratulate Aragorn and he handed him the sceptre of Annúminas, the sceptre of the North. And with him came Galadriel of Lórien and Celeborn her husband, and Thranduil, Legolas' father, king of Mirkwood. And Aragorn wedded Arwen, daughter of Elrond, and they had a good life.
