| Oh, what a pretty story! I always thought that the tale of elf-blood in the Dol Amroth line was not just a legend. And I remembered Mithrellas from Tolkien's work outside LOTR (don't think she and Imrazor were mentioned in the Appendices) Very well done. Author Reply: I must confess that my certainty comes courtesy of the Encyclopedia of Arda and a wonderfully informative piece of writing from Michael Martinez. I'm in the throes of extending this to the tale of Imrazor's and Mithrellas's story, as Mithrellas tells it to her descendants. Thank you for reading and reviewing. | |

| This is just wonderful, thank you, I have no idea whether your progenitor is canon but she should be. Your writing is luminous, your description of the lady's grief and yet abiding affection, and the reson why elves and mortals cleave to each other so fiercly rings with truth. This story turns a light onto neglected canon. Well done Rose Author Reply: Mithrellas and Imrazor the Numenorean are indeed the progenitors of the line of Dol Amroth. This is (probably)(almost definitely) going on to tell the story of Mithrellas and Imrazor as she tells it to Imrahil and his children. I am glad you like it - this bit has been mostly written for a while, but I've only just moved on to the next bit. I suppose the whole thing is marginally more cheerful than Partings! I'm sure there must have been considerably more elf/mortal partnerships than are noted - and they must have come with plenty of pain attached. Thank you for reading. | |
