Herumor (Fourth Age)

Herumor was a term used by a cult in Gondor during the Fourth Age.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. XII: The Peoples of Middle-earth, XVI: "The New Shadow", pg. 414, 417
Around FO 220, a secret cult worshipping Melkor and Sauron, referred to as the Dark Tree, used the term Herumor to denote something of significance. Whether Herumor was the name of a person, an alias, a concept, or even a code word is untold. It is known, however, that the term was used in whispers in opposition against Eldarion in the Reunited Kingdom.
Sometime in the early months of the year 220, Borlas of Pen-arduin picked up on the whispers of Herumor from a man named Othrondir. Later, during a discussion with Saelon, he briefly pondered how Saelon had heard the name.
