| Oh, this is so sad. I am not as up on the history of Men as I am of hobbits. I am assuming that the "Old Folk" would have been the Men who dwelt there before the coming of the Numenoreans? Because I cannot imagine the Numenoreans sanctioning any such arrangement as this... Did you have real world historical models for this sort of family arrangement? Author Reply: Yes, the Old Folk are the indigenous people who've already lived there. I hae no historical models for this, I made it up from the scratch. And no, I don't think the Dúnedain would like it, but I supposed the Old Folk would be a secretive lot when it comes to their customs. | |

| What a hideous life that is forced on poor women. Its hard to know what to say, except that I think you catch the 'matter of fact' tone of it well... people did what they had to to survive, and for the most part, accepted it. Author Reply: Thank you. I was a bit surprised myself, how dark this vignette turned out. But my intention was to show several different slices of life, so I kept this one. | |

| Poor Telta. She is one who, it seems, might welcome death - especially if Merryn suffered a painful fate. | |
