I was thinking rust, or water, both of which damage things.

But it didn't seems to fit with girl-gilder.

Then I reminded the Golden Girls, those girls who have entered their golden years.

So I am going with time and age, those two inescapables which bring all things low.

But who the heck is Rowald?  Maybe a rhyme for "grow old"?

Yes, that fits!  "Grow old" is "Rowald"s "rime"
