Elf in the hood! (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) I love how the mystery builds, its pall as thick as the smoke in the Hosluin tower.
I hate it when Haleth and Inglor are separated! Sad smiley face

And who is the elf depicted in the shrine?
Yaaahh! More updates, please! Smile smiley face

You're just brilliant, do you realize that? After beginning your story (and catching wind that it was finished), I Googled "Pitfalls of the Palantir" to read the rest at TWC. (I like the second ending best, BTW). Are you planning a prequel/sequel to explain/elaborate/continue the Inglor/Haleth relationship? Also, will Haleth ever discover Inglor's other name?

....edited to get rid of spoilers

Oh, Haleth, that is just hilarious! And the two of them end up laughing themselves silly... I love it when Inglor teases Haleth like that!

Hope this story -- or a sequel? -- keeps going for a good long time. It is such a treat!

Haleth, your descriptin of the palantir careening around like a pinball (Let go you fool!, taking out the cold drake, richocheting off of shields only to land (plunk!) in the lake had me laughing my .... head off. Such is life.....

On to the next! On to the next!!!

This is a beautifully-written chapter, but it made me teary-eyed. I was *so* rooting for Haleth to tell Inglor, but the rising of Eärendil destroyed that moment for her. Why does she feel so soiled and unworthy? We know that Inglor doesn't feel that she is...

Loved the hints about Inglor's background... hmmm, so maybe that's why he knows about Dwarves? Interesting! I do know about the name... (And I'm glad you finally solved the mystery of what Haleth saw in the palantír... shoulda known! I loved Inglor's knowing smile...) I'd still like to know more about Haleth's background... sounds like she was one of The Faithful... that would certainly make me uncomfortable around the Dúnedain -- they still believe in their superiority over non-Númenórean descendants, which (in its extreme) was one of the symptoms of Sauron's corruption. I think Haleth is clearly wise enough to perceive the connection. I would *love* to see her feel safe enough to share her insecurities with Inglor.

The ending of the chapter was perfect and romantic. You have an eye for visual detail and emotional detail that helps the story to "live".

It's still listed as a WIP... can we expect more chapters, or is this it? (I think you know what my vote would be... whether this story or a sequel.)

You have a true gift, Haleth; I thank you for sharing it with us!

You are a goddess.
Mean it.
Haleth`s temptation was utterly charming. And very true too. I guess it must be darn hard to be so close.... soooo close...
Fantastic chappie. Fantastic everything.

*vaguely notes the rivers of drool now floating across her chair* Ohhhh.... pleeeeeeeeeeease, let there be more! MORE, I say!! *bounces impatiently as she waits*

That's it? Don't they get together? I hope there will be a sequel of some sort of their further adventures. I really like them but I wanted find out more about their pasts and why they are together. But well written.
