An interesting look at Theoden, a character who is too often ignored. I really liked his mistress, a character whose existence one suspects but can never prove.

As for flaws, I would have to say the use of "Off me" as in "Slay me" in the first chapter. I think that is too modern a phrase, and it clashed mightily against the OE text. Otherwise this is as fine a story as there is on OS.

What a pretty idea! Very enjoyable story, with a good believable female character. Smile smiley face

First of all, I did not take my screen name from Theoden's lovely lady (I picked it as my name in the Society for Creative Anachronism 27 years ago).

This was a lovely tale and touched my heart. You are so good at saying so much with so few words. There isn't a sentence or phrase that is unnecessary and you manage somehow to stuff so much emotion and meaning into the sentences you have used.

It hadn't occurred ot me that Theoden had a paramour (which looking back seems kind of dilly of me now) and I really liked it that your Edlyn is of an appropriate age and experience for th King of the Riddermark. In an alternate universe, I can just picture them embracng each other when Throden returns from the war alive. However, since that didn't happen I wonder what she did and how she felt when she received word of Theoden's death.

Again, just lovely.
