| How interesting! (I'm referring to the note at the bottom of the page just now.) The gaps Tolkien left certainly do beckon to be filled, don't they? I love her grey mare and your explanation of the horse's name. It seems that Éowyn has stumbled across a mystery! At her age, I would have loved to stumble across an old chest filled with mementos and hints about my grandmother or great-grandmother. A surprising number of the books I read as a child featured such trunks discovered by the protagonists in dusty attics. Théodred is wonderful and I find myself wanting an AU where he lives on... Sigh. I must settle for enjoying reading about him as long as I can. Author Reply: Yeah, right? I originally meant to write a very different story, but once I realized how much was missing about Morwen, I felt something else would be truer to what might have really come to pass. And it adds a bit more suspense to the story too :D I also gave Éowyn a different horse than Windfola at this point, since she was only fourteen—she would have had to change mounts by the time of the War of the Ring. And I love Théodred—which makes the later chapters all the harder to bear. :( Thanks for the review! :heart: | |

| Oooh exciting! I am intrigued! It reminds me of a friend who did much the same thing trying to learn more about their great grandfather. Except he didn’t need to learn a new language or alphabet to do it. :) I can’t wait to learn more about Morwen now too! Author Reply: Thanks! Éowyn would have had to study Sindarin anyway, as Thengel made it a tradition in his house to know it as well, even though it had little practical use in Rohan, as the scholar noted. But now she would be extra motivated :D | |
