| A leader thoughtful of the welfare of his men is a leader worth following. Interesting to learn Hirgon's story at the last. But to take out the anger at the father on the son is not politic or just. Interesting situation working here. Author Reply: I've always seen Aragorn as someone who was thoughtful and compassionate of those around him, someone truly interested in others. Not a distant and lordly leader of men, but someone deeply interested in them and who truly cares for them. A reflection of his elvish upbringing, and, in this story, something I attributed to the influence of his mother as well. Ah, yes, Hirgon. It is definitely not just to take out your anger on the son, but jealousy and a broken heart do not usually lead to wisdom. Hurt people often do very unwise things. I imagine that when he learns what Aragorn has done to save his wife and children, he might even feel a little bit guilty... he might. :) | |

| This just keeps getting better Radbooks! Juggling so many characters and giving each a different tone or feel is no mean feat - well done. Author Reply: Thank you, Harrowcat! I do try, though it is difficult at times to give them all unique personalities... I've got too many of them, I know, but it should thin out here very soon. | |
