This is such excellent, beautiful work! The prose is astonishing and your introduction of Oropher is neatly done. This story came alive for me as I read it and I found myself becoming immersed in the world you unfolded before me. You really are an exceptionally talented writer.

Author Reply: Hi, Wendy! :D

To begin, thank you so much for all your reviews! It was a lovely surprise and I'm so glad you liked the story. You're entirely too kind and I'm immensely flattered, naturally, so I hope you don't mind me filling up your inbox with review replies!

Very poetic description of the halls. I like it very much. The tone is very appropriate to the subject and it creates a very vivid image. And the promise of Oropher-centric story makes me very happy indeed! I will definitely be reading this one!

Author Reply: I'm glad you like the halls, I did want to make Menegroth as vivid as possible to highlight what was lost. Thank you for reading! I hope the rest of the story doesn't disappoint. ^^

He did not desire to believe his decision would bring about his own death.

Alas for Dior and those who remained with him.

Author Reply: Alas for Dior indeed. Thank you for reading!

A lovely evocation of the somewhat faded glory of Doriath; still beautiful and now so imperilled. We know what will come, but not how these characters will think and feel (and, in the cases of Galadriel and Celeborn and Oropher, act) during the struggle that is to come. A promising, and gently chilling beginning.

Author Reply: Raksha, thank you! I am glad this stands up to a second read. ^^

You create quite stunning imagery of Menegroth here. This looks very promising.

Author Reply: I'm glad you liked the imagery, it was important to me to create some idea of what was lost with the fall of Doriath. Thank you for reading!
