This oropher laways makes me laugh, so matter of factly and all down to business...A good guide to follow out of a tight place. Author Reply: That's precisely the Oropher I wanted to convey throughout the story. I thought Green-elves wouldn't have much time for elaborate poetic conceits like honourable deaths and so on. Well, I suppose it would depend on the place and the Green-elf, but certainly this wouldn't be a good time to be anything less than down to business. ^^ | |

I took a different route with my own tale of Menegroth, but this is certainly logical and well thought out. The melancholy atmosphere that pervades this chapter coupled with the grim scenes of the river crossing gives us a deeper empathy with the survivors. Author Reply: The options for escaping a besieged underground fortress with only one exit seemed very limited to me; I'm glad this makes sense to you, and that the atmosphere works! | |

Very scary and compelling - you tell the leap into the freezing water so vividly. No wonder Oropher wanted to head for trees and forests, to get away from blood-stained halls of stone. Author Reply: I am glad you like this! By this point in the story, I must confess I rather shared Oropher's urge to flee to the woods. As ever, thank you so much for (re)reading and commenting! | |

At least these have survived, and made it to freedom. I only wish they'd found the twins.... Author Reply: The loss of the twins is a particularly tragic aspect of Doriath's fall, I think. As ever, thank you so much for reading and commenting! | |
