| What a stark contrast of domestic bliss and simmering politics. There's Arwen and Doronrin talking about baby food and its preparation, and then you have horse thieves crashing through borders. As for Thano, I can't help but feel that he's a dictator in the making, with Nasir fanning the flames behind him. This is all a very interesting set up. I am very anxious to see where you will take us from here. | |

| NOw! you got me tickled with the wine thing, of course! and you should have seen me going back to first chapter to make sure how long the elves had been in Ithilien that this over confident midwife.. midelleth? dares claim their wine surpasses legendary Dorwinion? Madam Doronrin, in eleven years at your best you did not even have time to get barrels worth of that name!!! :-) These elves... there are some things men succeed in, when the trade passes from father to son! :-) (this was a joke, I was enjoying it thoroughly, as well as the apple thing... my cousins and I once started and apple growing business as investment, and ... it didn't went bad, once you survive the first years.. apple trees are such a capricious things on their first years..:-) But after spoiling so much, we have forgotten how to grow things." He clenched his jaw, unwilling to show his shame in such an admission. Aiii, and this came right to a soft spot.. sigh!! that's oh so damned true, and not only of orcs' former slaves, unless we assume there's much orcish behaviour in humans.. which I'm only too ready to admit.. All in all, I'm truly intersted in this, FP, even if you promise goriness galore, and I can only fear where it is going to come from... but the setting is so intersting! Go on! | |

| Thano interests me. He sounds like someone who wants to do well by his people but doesn't know how. In other words, he sounds like someone who's ripe for exploitation. I'm highly suspicious of Nasir. It's a little unlikely that he's just thinking of Thano's good. | |

| I enjoy seeing how the land of Ithilien is growing and becoming fruitful, and the realization by those from near the Lake that they might be more. And have my suspicions as to who the "emissaries" might be. Well done. | |

| Ah, we see the friendships and relationships growing, the pleasures shared by families, and the beginnings of intrigue. A bit different from my own first visit to Harad, but I'll let you check that out for yourself. | |

| I don't think I've read a story about Men from you. I will have to go look up this one's prequel. The opening here with the 'startled hobbit' look made me laugh outloud. Arwen and Aragorn are good parents. :-) And the following part was particularly disturbing I think after the cheery first part. This looks like a dark one, FP! Great beginning. | |

| Ah, what a sweet look at the royal family. You did the baby talk well! It's funny how adults go completely gah-gah when talking to a baby. But so I'm told, baby talk actually helps the little guys learn to talk. The higher pitch or something. Anyway, good start. I'm looking to forward to seeing what happens. Karen | |

| Lovely family time - and the startled hobbit look sounds as if it should start a new fashion in Gondor. Arwen not going doesn't sound good though. I like the idea of Doronrin turning up and silencing Ioreth with discussion of grandchildren. The middle section though - ominous. And a good illustration of how removing a dominating and evil regime doesn't automatically improve the life of those who suffered under it - and yet leaves a space for the next Mr Nasty to come along. Children died. Children had always died. Sad. Cynical. Depressing. True. I'm not sure if the life of the people shown is improving or not - but I can see one here who wishes to be at the top of any new hierarchy. I look forward to more. | |

| HAHAHAHAH!!! A startled Hobbitt!! That is hilarious.. Such a sweet moment with Aragorn and his baby. What a wonderful scene. The mighty warrior feeding his baby. Wonderful!!! Sweet and Pure. Where did you get the name Ninniach? It's very original. "The Rise of the House of Telcontar" was the very first story I've read when I started reading fan fiction. I just loved it. I am thrilled that you are writing a sequel. I need to read it again to refreshen my memory. I do remember Lord Ghayur. He was very taken by Arwen when they met if I remember correcty (He introduced cotton to them didn't he? Forgive me if I have mistaken this for another story..it has been a while since I've read it) Why does he want Arwen to accompany Aragorn to the summit. Sounds suspicious to me. Nasir is even creepier. His name sounds familiar. Was he in the previous story?? I feel gloom coming. Something is amiss. Very Ominous. Please don't be too long in updating. Thanks for a wonderful beginning and getting me hooked on wonderful stories like yours. | |
