She brings [[Merry]] to the decisive battle of Gondor, where the leader of the nine [[Nazgul|Black Riders]] is unseated, and her marriage to [[Faramir]] is second in importance only to [[Aragorn]]'s marriage to [[Arwen]].
Éowyn, like the hobbits Pippin and Merry, disobeyed higher authority. She risked censure or punishment for going on a quest, and yet proved in a crucial moment that she did well thereby. If the Council had not allowed Merry and Pippin to join the other Seven Travellers, who would have roused Treebeard? And Pippin saved [[Faramir]] from a fiery death at the hands of his grief-crazed father.
