Of the six, Borondir was the only one to survive, escaping numerous assaults out of Mirkwood as he made his way northward. The journey took him fifteen days, but eventually he arrived at the court of Eorl and delivered the message of Cirion, bringing the Northmen to Gondor's aid and rescuing it from its invaders. Borondir Udalraph rode into battle with Eorl and was slain, but his legacy lived on in the kingdom of Rohan, a gift from Cirion to Eorl, which would never have existed if Borondir had failed in his mission. Notes 1 It's not specifically stated that Borondir Udalraph completed his northward journey at Framsburg, but as the chief settlement in the Éothéod (indeed, the only named settlement in that land) this seems to be a reasonable assumption.
