Brethren  by Ecthelion of the fountain 1 Review(s)
LindeleaReviewed Chapter: 6 on 5/26/2025
Strange, then, that the sickness came with such sudden force.
Strange indeed. It sounds like a case of acute poisoning, followed by the application of a remedy and then a course of slow poisoning with an occasional respite. Or perhaps I have read too much Agatha Christie or Roman history.

Was it Lothíriel, by chance?

This glimpse of Gondor and Boromir through the Riders' eyes was intriguing.

*sigh* Théodred's understanding of Éowyn makes his upcoming loss all the more grievous.

Author Reply: As for the initial onset of the illness, I hold no firm opinion—after all, people do fall ill without warning. But I do believe that the lingering malady which followed was the result of slow poisoning, as UT suggests.

And, as ever, no spoilers from me :D
