| You had me humming "We Three Kings" with this one...LOL! How seasonal :-D I loved the comparisons! You know, we're never told what the other two kings' names are, just that they got Cardolan and Rhudaur. What would you call them? Kaylee Arafinwiel Author Reply: I'd not thought of names for the other sons of Earendur, although I've named some of the later descendants of them. And I, too, was singing the same song as I wrote this! Heh! | |

| LOL! Even the Elves got confused! We mere mortals have no hope! ;) Author Reply: It must have been maddening to try to keep up with the doings of Elrond's mortal kin! Heh! | |

| This made me chuckle. I hope Erestor didn't continue the lesson much longer - otherwise Estel'd have an Oliphaunt of a headache! Author Reply: I do suspect you are correct, Kitt. Glad to give you a chuckle today! | |

| I tip my hat in respect for you writing an Advent calendar. I did it three times in this fandom, but I don't think I'll find the energy to do so again. It's just too much labour for too little reward. I like your idea to base each new part on the number of the days. And Estel is right. Having three kings *is* confusing. Author Reply: It was most interesting last year and the year before, so I thought doing one on a single theme might be interesting. As for the three kings--yes, I've always found multiple rulers to be an interesting situation. More an oligarchy than a proper monarchy, I suppose. But in time it did devolved to a more common monarchy in both kingdoms. Thanks for the comments--glad you're apparently following the series. It's going to be more difficult as time goes on, I suppose. | |

| A history lesson! I always liked history at school but I can understand people who get bored by it. It depends on the teacher. Estel however, has a very good teacher with a nice sense of humour. Author Reply: To have a teacher who remembers many of the times he teaches of can be fascinating, I've found. And I suspect that Erestor would have been able to present some droll lessons! But this would be one subject I'm certain that Elrond would insist that the child study, preparing him for the day he must follow in his ancestors' footsteps. He doesn't want to repeat Earendur's mistake, I'm certain! | |

| That's a lot of kings explained in a short drabble! Very deft! Author Reply: Isn't it, though? Heh! Thanks so, eiluj! | |

| As hard a time as I had sorting out the kingdoms, I always feel for Estel, having to learn it all. At least I didn't have to take exams! Another very nice glimpse into young Aragorn's life. Author Reply: This would be one aspect of his education I'm certain that Elrond would insist on the child studying in depth, I believe. Thanks so, Cairistiona! | |
