| This was wondefully atmospheric right from the outset. I had an idea of where you might be going with this from the summary and then the first line just set the scene beautifully. Amazing how in 100 words you could portray the pride Denethor and Ecthelion had in their heritage and position, and also create a rather creepy atmosphere, knowing what the Palantir would mean to Denethor in later years and the effect it would have on him. Honestly, when I read pieces like this it just makes me so sad that Denethor's portrayal in the movies was so different in ways to the books. He is such an multifaceted character, and I'm just so impressed that you could get that across in so short a space. |

| I am not one much up on Gondor, but this is a very nice drabble. I could almost sense the ambition in Denethor. Thank you for sharing. |

| Oooo, what a good idea for this drabble. I didn't think of the Palantiri and to see it through those particular character eyes. Well done! |

Great!
You really make us feel Denethor's temptation, but he doesn't simply get ensnared by it like poor Pippin but thinks he can manage it because of his heritage and his knowledge. It's true to his character as I understand him.
As I said, great!  |

| I really like it when you write your favs NB. What I liked about this was how much of Denethor's personality you showed through his reaction to this object. You conveyed an amazing amount about him in only 100 words. Great choice of topics for this challenge. |

I enjoyed this very much! I especially like the first sentence. You can already sense how eager he is to try it out.

| Simply amazing Nancy! Every word in this drabble is precious, well choosen and it carries so much meaning. Not only that, but with so many lines, the build up is... wow! Ecthelion not under estimating the influence it already had on his son. Makes you wonder how much this Steward knew it might lure his son into it's thrall. |
