Yay, an update! I don't think I've left a review on this story earlier on, and it's high time I did that now. I've enjoyed this story a great deal right from the beginning. I appreciate how you've brought a minor LOTR character into the limelight, created a culture to Rhûn where Tolkien himself left everything to the reader's imagination, and included Aragorn, a central character, in an interesting way. I look forward to the rest of the story.

Author Reply: Thank you. :)
I had a sudden burst of inspiration today, so I sincerely hope that the next update won't be so far. And then perhaps two more chapters and the story will be finished. *crosses fingers*

The cleverness and resourcefulness of Elfhelm must be admired, I find. I so hope that this will lessen the threat that Ragnar's clan offers others.

Author Reply: That is Elfhelm's hope, too. ;)

Thanks for the beta work.

Yes! Great to see you working on this. You were right, the detail on customs was a little over the top but not so much as to disturb the flow of the story. the politics were well handled and, as always, I'm looking forward to future installments. Thanks for your hard work on this one.

Author Reply: Yeah, I'm happy that I could move the dratted story away from its dead spot. I hope the last 3 chapters won't take a year each. The whole thing has gone on far too long as it is.

I'm glad you still find your enjoyment, despite my tendency to go overboard with the trivia. Thanks for your continued interest and your kind commnets.

I loved Aragorn as negotitiator here looking so kingly!

Author Reply: Well, he deserved to shine, this time. :)
