| Belecthor needs a girl firend of his own. LOL I liked it and it made me think a bit. Just after becoming engaged to a very important man's daughter, the offer of a Captain's position? Any connection in the works or has he earned it on his own merit? While her father seems to like him, I wonder if he might like him better in a higher station. Author Reply: Like I told EomerofEastfold, I made him a captain simply because *I* liked him and *I* wanted him to be a captain. ;) But no, it was not any of Narion's doing (as far as I know). :) As to Belecthor's girl friend, I have a loose idea and even tried to put it into a short story, but it was later chunked because the plot was horrible and certain parts of it followed Louis L'Amour's book just a little too close. (Louis L'Amour being my favorite Western author.) Therefore, all I know is that he does get married, as does Morwen, but I know her husband's name at least. :) | |

| That must have been some impressive fighting then to be promoted to captain after one battle. :) Actually, I'm guessing it's because he managed to find and save Belecthor during the fighting, right? In the Medieval Period, if a squire saved the life of a knight in battle, said squire automatically attained the right to knighthood, if memory serves me correctly. Anyway, I'm glad he got promoted. At least that way he'll be able to provide for Hirilian better. Sometimes, though, the way people say things or act it makes it seem like Ceorl is in his late teens rather than a mid-20 year old man. Well, good chapter all the same. :) Author Reply: I'm glad you could come up with a logical explaination. In truth, I will admit, it was simply blatant favoritism. :) I suppose saving Belecthor is as good a reason as any. (And better than some, such as the aforementioned favoritism.) As to the way people treat Ceorl, what can I say? After all, I did put a note at the bottom of this chapter, didn't I? ;) Perhaps it's because Rohirric Men seem to live longer than modern Men. How long did Eomer live? A long time, I can tell you that right now. :) Poor Elfwine . . . hardly got any time as King because his dear Dad wouldn't die! ;) Anyway, thanks again for all you do for this story, Eomer. It is very appreciated. | |
