| This is a most beautiful read of this period of the Dúnedain history. The dialogue and narrative really fills in the depth of the story and characters well. Aragorn naming his brother-in-law Erithain as regent chieftain for Aragorn is really awesome storytelling! I've only read this far today but plan on reading the rest soon. The only criticism I have is a minor one... Canonically, at the time of these events, Fornost had been an abandoned ruin haunted by wights since its sacking 960 years before by the Witch-King of Angmar, and had become known as 'Deadman's Dike' in local lore. Still, overall, great story this! Author Reply: Hanasian! Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to write! It really means so much to me! I have always been fascinated by the Dunedain and this story is the result. When I started this story many years I had in my mind I was thinking Fornost and after going back and adding chapters and doing some rewriting I discovered my mistake and realised that I should really have been referring to Annuminas. I need to go through the story to see if just changing the name would work or will I have to rewrite bits. Thank you again for reading and writing. Be Well; Stay Safe MM | |

| Mirkwoodmaiden, I got tears in my eyes. How heartbreaking! And yet it has to be done. This will be very difficult for the child, and so very difficult for the ones who love him. I am feeling so much for Arathorn who will be separated from them both. So well done, bringing forth deep emotions. I hope you are well, my friend, take care Author Reply: Nurayy! Thank you so much! These next couple of chapters will be rough...fair warning. They weren't easy to write either but I think they turned out well. As Gandalf says, "we must go through shadows to get to the dawn." Both Arathorn and Gilraen sacrificed so much. I am well. Working on another chapter! Hope you are well. ((hugs)) Stay safe! MM | |
