| As to who caused the unrest, my vote goes to Ingoldo. Time will tell. Atar will work everthing out according to his plan as we all know. He only wants the best for everyone. Author Reply: Hi Tari. Maybe it's Ingoldo, or maybe others. We may never truly know. But you are right about Atar. He works everything out according to His plan and always for the best and that is a very comforting thought in troubling times. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I really appreciate it. Happy New Year! | |

| I am enjoying this story very much.(well I enjoy all your stories, esp the ones with the twins) Your writing style is very enjoyable, and characters are well developed. I have a feeling Ingoldo and Tinwetariel are behind much of the trouble; also I wonder why the Valar were concerned with the wedding. Is there an important child in the future? (grin) And last, would you be able to translate the Quenya word for dance into dancer? I can find words, but changing the forms of them is beyond me at this point. Author Reply: Hello Ainisarie. I am so pleased to hear that you are enjoying this story and, indeed, you enjoy all my stories. I try very hard to make all my characters believable and well-rounded, even the villians, so they are interesting to the reader. The word for 'dance' as a verb is _lilta-_ (the noun could be rendered by the gerund _liltiė_, literally 'the dancing'). 'Dancer' would be _liltar_, the _-r_ being a gender-neutral agental suffix. To indicate that the dancer is female, one would make it _liltarė_ and if the dancer is male it would be _liltaro_. The plural of _liltar_ would be _liltari_. I hope that helps. Thanks for reading and reviewing and letting my know how much you are enjoying this tale. I appreciate you taking the time to do very much. Happy New Year! | |

| Well, well, interesting. I bet Ingoldo has something with those conflicts among the Noldor. Perhaps he is not the "brain" of the operation, perhaps Morgoth is behind all this - by manipulating Ingoldo and others - but I'm sure Ingoldo has something to do with it. Thanks for another great chapter. Author Reply: Hi Ellynn. Well, whether Melkor or Ingoldo, it's difficult to say and we probably will never know. But I think it's Melkor's taint that has caused all the trouble, so in a sense, Ingoldo is a much a victim as the rest. Glad you liked the chapter. Thanks for letting me know. I really appreciate it. | |

| No, Melkor's interference is terribly subtle, apparently. So, a dyer was convinced to use sub-par dye materials, and now someone is playing with the miners and so on? Not a good situation at all. Author Reply: Whether it's Melkor's influence or something else, it's hard to say. Certainly Melkor has sown the seeds but it's the Elves' responsibility (as it is ours) to root them out and destroy them before they take hold. Some aren't willing to do this, as we see here. And no, it's not a good situation at all and we know, of course, that it only gets worse. Thanks for reading and reviewing, Larner. I appreciate it very much. | |

| I wonder how much of the unrest can be laid at Ingoldo's door? I know some of it can has been caused by Melkor's honeyed lies but a lot of it is coming from certain elves who are staunch supporters of Feanaro. Wonder what would have happened if Finwe had not gone to Formanos, yes, yes I know the answer is moot since he did go but it is interesting to contemplate it! So now we wait and see what and how Finderato can help, some but not enough. Huggs, Lynda Author Reply: Now that's an interesting question, Lynda. We may never know the answer to that. Certainly the Noldor are capable of mischief without help from others. I think if Finwė had remained in Tirion, the Silmarillion may never have been written, or the story would have been vastly different and things may have been better or worse. I'm sure such a story would make a good AU for some writer (not me!). We will see how Findarįrto fares now that he is back in Tirion for good. Thanks for reading and reviewing, Lynda. I appreciate it very much. | |
