| Hi Soledad - This was a fun chapter, which nicely captured the flavor of big country fairs. I love Rennaisance Faires, in particular, and your chapter certainly evoked them. Faramir's attempts to buy the rare books without enough cash was particularly amusing, especially when Boromir steps forward and makes it clear that the vendor better give him a fair price! (I love the bazaars in the Middle Eastern countries.) One thing I wondered--and its a general fan fiction quandry--should youthful Faramir and the other noble children run about unescorted at a huge public gathering wearing the insignia of their houses. It certainly proves who Faramir is when he wants to buy somethings on credit. However, it might be dangerous in case some baddie wants to kill him or abduct him for ransom. But maybe that's where "The Young Knights" is heading? Keep up the good work. - Steff Author Reply: Erm... it is mentioned that they actually had guards escorting them. Faramir just got separated because he smelled the books, to put ot that silly way. Don't worry, though, this is a more or less happy story, no bad things intended. :) Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you enjoy yourself. | |

| Well - I can't blame Faramir for losing the others in his pursuit of books - and such books, too! Worth invoking his position and his kin's power and wealth to obtain. Good time for Boromir to turn up and finance their purchase. I get the feeling that you could name every single person attending the fair - with their family history and foreknowledge of their futures. So complex and you are so in control of it all! Author Reply: Hmmm...not in this fair, I cannot. But I do have extensive character lists for Halabor (up to 750 persons and still growing), with family trees, more or less detailed biographies, a map, descriptions of the most important places in town and so on. I'm not quite so far with Forlong's court yet - I wanted to finish Halabor's background before I started with Forlong's people - but I will get there eventually. At the very least when I get around to write "Forlong's Last Battle", a story I've been planning for quite some time. | |

| What will happen to Madenn, do you know? Will she sirvive tha war? Author Reply: Yes, she will definitely survive; although she is not named in The Books. Nor is she Forlong's daughter there. We never learn much about her, actually. | |
