Apparently the rumors of Sulwe's death were also somewhat premature! Heh!

Apparently the rumors of Sulwe's death were a bit--premature! Heh!

Interesting discussions, to be certain.

Author Reply: Okay, so I should have made it only two chapters instead of three... You'll learn who Sulwe is when you read chapter 3. Yes, the rumors were a bit premature and Finwe was the one spreading them...

thanks for reading and reviewing!

Fascinating. When you say Sulwe is king of the Tatyar, how big is the kingdom he rules? If it is large, how did the Noldor avoid noticing it? If it is small, by what right does he speak for all the Tatyar? Why did the Tatyar come west? Where is this? The Taur-in-Duinath perhaps? Big, heavily forested, inhabited by dark elves... but far south of most fighting? Or somewhere else? I hope you answer some of these questions later. Inquiring minds want to know. I am enjoying this very much.

Author Reply: I hope that chapter 3 will answer most of your questions. I have tried to imply that the exiled Noldor have completely ignored the Tatyar up until now seeing them as lesser beings or backward kinfolk and not worth the time of day like most primitive Avari (a Noldorin sentiment not mine), and the Army of Light from Valinor was simply too busy to go exploring to see what hidden kingdoms might be out there.

I'm glad you are enjoying this story:-) It was an interesting challenge writing it and a lot of fun as well (lots of new characters and a new way of thinking for me with "Noldor" who aren't like the Noldor of Aman and yet are).

Thanks for reading and reviewing!
