Nerdanel's Story  by Istarnië 1 Review(s)
Raksha The DemonReviewed Chapter: 1 on 9/20/2007
Interesting story; and I commend you for your extensive research into Elven history and language.

Things might have been much better for all concerned, especially Nerdanel, if 'Finwion' had been taught "restraint".

I assume that Miriel's gift to Nerdanel will be Feanor himself?

Author Reply: Hi Raksha,

thank you for your review. My research only includes the HoME books and some writings on Professor Tolkien's works. I know there is a lot of other material avaiable that I haven't yet read. I try with Quenya, but my knowledge is still rather basic. There is never enough time in the day to do all that I want. ;-) You sort of assume correctly about the gift. In a way, Míriel's gift is Fëanor, and yet it is something else. ( But it is not embroidery!):-)

I figure that if Finwion had been taught restraint, we would have a very different story. (Or maybe no story at all?)

Thank you again. :-)
