| Great story on an interesting subject! I've always found that short paragraph quite intriguing, that and the kingdom of Eregion :) I'm glad there are other people who are interested in the Elven smiths! | |

| I agree, the reforging of Narsil was certainly glossed over by all concerned and I thank you for this look into the most fitting scene imaginable, sealing the blade with the blessings of Men and Elves and Dwarves, together as allies once more. The mutual concern for sons going to war bound these two diverse males to a single cause allowing a possibly unprecedented event to occur. Another wonder-filled tale. | |

| A good read and makes the little bit that Tokein wrote about it in the book come alive a little bit more. | |

| "Telchar first wrought in the deeps of time" -Aragorn, TTT,135 "Telchar: The most renowned of the smiths of Nogrod, the maker of Angrist and (according to Aragorn in the Two Towers III 6) of Narsil"- Sil, Index, 423 "Nogrod: One of two cities of the Dwarves in the Blue Mountains"-Sil, Index, 415 Thus we see that the sword Narsil is not of Numenorean make, but rather of the Dwarves of the First Age. But aside from this, I like this tale. Very well detailed, and believable. WEll done. I am now going to use you as my referance for forging details | |

| Oh my, this was lovely. Every detail told a tale of the care the smith put into the sword and not just because of what it would do (although that was important) but because of his own need to do the best he could by it. I truly enjoyed this. | |

| Fascinating, and highly crafted. You take a treatise and suddenly infuse it with life and warmth, sorrow and hope and fierce determination. Who would think that a simple description of sword-forging could be infused with so much allure? | |

| Ah, a lovely story! It gives me enormous pleasure both to use well-made tools and to make them (software, in my case). Your story really captures the spirit of fine craftsmen, how much heart and pride they put into their work, and the respect they have when they recognize a fellow craftsman and seeker of great quality. (And a fellow parent, as well.) The story also shows *your* great pride of craft in words. Thank you! - Barbara | |
