| I really loved this chapter, a wonderful view into the lives of your little town. I feel sorry for Herumor, it must have been incredibly difficult for a town near Anduin in the buildup to the ring war, presumeably they all had to be evacuated otherwise they probably all would have ended up dead and I think neither Herumor nor Denethor would let that happen. One point, I don't believe the court at Dol Amroth should be called Royal, rather perhaps Princely. They are not after all what would be called Princes of the Blood. Instead they are nobles who have been given a title, like the Esterhazy family to quote an example. If the late Kings of Gondor were suspicious enough of their kin to send them fleeing into exile in Umbar, I suspect that they would not have permitted a noble family to use the term royal to describe themselves. I look forward to future chapters, you're amoung my favourite fanfiction writers on the internet. Author Reply: Thanks for your kind words and for taking the effort to write such an in-depth comment. If you've read "The Last Yule in Halabor" you'll know what end these people have found. I'll consider your opinion about the court at Dol Amroth. I've seen it called royal in fanfic elsewhere, and as I'm not as secure in English as I'm in my mother tongue or in German, I thought it was okay. But what you say has its merits; and as a Hugarian, I find it interesting that you quoted the Eszterházy family as an example. ;) | |
