| You have a very interesting, high quality way to describe. Your phrases are painted with words. This is art, what you are doing. When I closed my eyes I could see what you wrote about. Bravo! |

Great story.
The "Forgoil: is so unusual: the POV of Dunlandings. Very touching and believable story, standing on its own.
And I absolutely loved the first chapter- the field of Pelennor after the battle. Congratulations, Elfhild!
Powerful writing.
Keep it going, Angmar and Elfhild!

Aearwen,
We are glad that you enjoyed these chapters. This is going to be a very long series, gargantuan in fact. I hope you read in the future. Again, thank you.

Agan,
Yes, the situation of the Dunlending people themselves is seldom written about, which is a shame. Who knows what thoughts people like that would have?
Elfhild says, "I think that the prologue and the first chapter compliment each other nicely. The sufferings of the Dunlending girl in years past and the hopeless plight of the twins in 3019 shows that, no matter the culture, everyone suffers in times of war, especially civilians."
Chapters will keep on going... and going... and going...

Yes the Dunlandings POV was never voiced before... Many forget that the Rohirrim opressed both Dunlandings and Druedan for long centuries.
Thank you for the Second Chapter. Quite interesting. Now I know that there is such a thing as a polite orc! This "You were saying..." was priceless
Keep posting, please!

Agan,
I always saw the Dunlendings as being in much the same circumstances as the Native Americans - harassed, pushed and oppressed into a smaller and smaller area all the time. I have never read that the Rohirrim even bothered attempting to placate them with "worthless trinkets" such as beads, bright cloth, etc. I cannot understand why this early period is so seldom written about. A lot of the information is in the appendixes and Unfinished Tales. Of course, there are very few notable names recorded in that period, and that might account for the scarcity of fanfic on this subject.
Now when orcs are polite, there must be a very good reason or they wouldn't bother - fear, gain, something. But you will have to wait to see what that something is.
This tale will not go as you will expect it to go - far from it.

Logic tells me that when those orcs have the opportunity, they are going to take revenge upon the shakh. Unfortunately, time constraints have prevented us from exploring just exactly what form vengence will take. I think imagination will suffice.

Elfhild,
Nice and angsty chapter. Full of premonition of the horrors to come. Leofgifu is wonderfully portrayed.
