Oh, wow, Spaceweavil, this is so chilling! And not just because of "cold as heathland rain" (poignant image!).

We know so little about Gríma... but I think you've captured the creepy aspect of his personality beautifully in so few words. Nice work!

Wow! I haven't had much time for reading fanfic lately, so I just got to read 3 or 4 new chapters at a time. Lucky me! Smile smiley face

This is such an extraordinary story! I never imagined I could feel empathy for the Witch-king (-to-be), but you have drawn him as a three-dimensional person that is, in fact, truly fascinating. And, after all he's been through, the poor kid misses his parents, and is sad that he will never see them again! (Like that old saying: Be careful what you wish for...)

Your descriptive prose is lovely (even if what it is describing is not lovely...) and evocative; it is almost as if I am seeing the places you describe in my mind.

Please keep the chapters coming, Spaceweavil! This is a truly fine piece of writing...

Ah, I love it, Marta! What an awkward situation for the new ambassador, and how like Elrond to try to set him at his ease. The activities you describe sound so appropriate for the times. And Elrond's gift for Pippin's new school is perfect!

Curiouser and curiouser! Marillion's increasing capabilities are getting scary ... that kid is a danger!

Oh, dear... You write creepy so... very... creepily.

Note to self: do NOT read a chapter of this story just before going to bed...

- Barbara, totally creeped out (especially after thinking of the, um, dearly departed horse and being reminded of Sauron's mask in the FoTR movie...)

Wow! After reading the next two chapters, I know why you call your character list DRAMAtis personae! Do you really want your readers hyperventilating like that? That first chapter, in particular, nearly knocked my socks off with its intensity...

Okay, I'm hooked, hooked, hooked... and I will shamelessly beg you to update soon!

And thanks for the quick reply - yes, the Mouth of Sauron was a Black Númenórean, which (of necessity!) means that he or his ancestors arrived before the Downfall. You might want to add a note after the MoS entry on your character list, just like you did for the sisters of Tar-Súrion, stating that you created the name and lineage for an existing canon character...

BTW, I especially enjoy and appreciate stories whose authors research canon so extensively... Keep up the great work!

Well, I haven't got past the Dramatis Personae, and already I'm hooked... can't wait to see where you'll take us in this story!

I do have a question, though: are you saying that the Mouth of Sauron's name and lineage (son of the sister of Tar-Súrion) are canon? If so, *please* tell me which book that's from, because I've done genealogies of all Tolkien's characters, but haven't read every single volume of HoME. I'd love to know where a juicy tidbit like that came from... and the same for the Witch-king's name and lineage: canon, or your invention?

Off to read the next chapter... I don't often have much time for reading or reviewing, but I want you to know that I will definitely be looking forward to reading each chapter as you post it...
