Things are grim and getting grimmer still! Author Reply: Yes, they are, unfortunately. Things will soon be as bad as they can get. | |

Whew. Chilling. Powerfully written. Amazing job. Author Reply: Oh, thank you so, Lindelea! Sauron did his best to destroy the chance for happiness and self-fulfillment for anyone else however he could. There is evidence he practiced germ warfare, and that he abducted and either abused or killed countless people for his own purposes. How much Gandalf must have learned about him over the fifteen hundred or so years he dwelt in Middle Earth in the form of a mortal. | |

I'd guess even an Evil Overlord(tm) would have to be logical. And if Sauron is working to improve on the Orcs, it would make sense to get the very best "breeding stock" for this purpose. And he also wouldn't be averse to the way abducting the best would weaken his opponents as well. And it would also put Celebrķan's capture into perspective - that event would come up quite soon now, I think. Author Reply: Ah--you have it indeed! Weaken those most likely to oppose his program by coopting their most promising and turning them away from self-knowledge and integrity to unquestioning obedience. And, yes, we are approaching that event, along with the battle of the Celebrant. | |
