I have just finished reading your story-in-progress, and I am SO relieved that you are still working in it. I can't wait to find out how Faramir explains all to Eowyn, I'm betting she will take it better than he expects. I like the idea of the friends still being together, Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn and Arwen, Faramir and Eowyn. Looking forward to more. | |

Sorry for not leaving a review for the past chapers, but rest assured that I still enjoy this tale. I am glad that Faramir finally seems to settle into his new office and that he and the King seem to have a working agreement on how to share the load. Now I only hope that being forced to deal out punishment to the four soldiers does not upset Faramir too much. And on a positive note: I really liked the description of the construction-site in Emyn Arnen. That will be a most lovely place to live, once it's finished, a place that Faramir and Éowyn more than deserve. | |

I'm surprised Aragorn and Faramir are still on their feet, if they've taken all the Council's work onto their own shoulders. 'At the King’s insistence, each new contract contained a clause holding the signatory responsible for not only their own actions but those of all their employees and retainers.' Very interesting principle - sounds as if it could be rather unfair, depending on how much control the signatory has over the enforcement of the contract. How long before the less scrupulous employ someone to sign for them and take the blame? Poor Faramir - enforcing discipline through flogging misbehaving troops would not be easy for him. Aragorn and the master-at-arms were supportive, but he will take a while to recover. However, the troops will now be much more wary about disobeying his orders. I hope the tribunal gets through its labours soon. | |
