What a build up and such detail on the allies who drove the Witch-king from Fornost! Even the Halflings were included. I could not stop reading until it came to an end. So, we hear Glorfindel's famous prediction and perhaps a glimpse of what might drive Earnur to later be lost. Great chapter!

Thank you, I'm glad you've enjoyed the chapter! All these allies always make me go crazy trying to get them straight haha.

Congrats on another wonderful segment of Anarie's story. Can't wait for the next part.

Thank you! There won't be any uploads from me over the summer I'm afraid, but as soon as autumn hits I have something in the works, not quite part 5 yet, but something!

With all the fan fiction views of elves celebrating their 'begetting day', the sad event of an early miscarriage was unexpected. Poor Anárië - that is not how one wants to find out about a pregnancy. I suspect they will grieve for awhile. In Japan, there are shrines and even memorial services for those who have had a miscarriage. I wonder if it elves would have something similar? You portray Anárië and Glorfindel as very private people, so such a service would reflect that. A sad twist to the tale.

Thank you for sticking through the story with me and our favourite couple. I wanted to represent how Anárië gets to struggle with who she is after just accepting it, because being a mother and the Marshal won't quite work ... I love the idea of a shrine or memorial service! I'll have to look into that. Thank you again for reading, and I hope you'll keep following these adventures when they return in autumn Smile smiley face
