I had not considered the possibility of "Each of Isildur's heirs" falling in love with Arwen in turn! Fascinating (and somehow heart-tugging, while also raising ponderings about timing and fate). I wonder if the Heirs ever gather together in Mandos and compare notes?

(LOL, don't mind me; I'm in a whimsical mood tonight.)

Very true to the tale.

Author Reply: You have me giggling to think that all of the heirs of Isildur who might have been attracted to Arwen might gather to discuss how their experiences were similar or different from one another, and I find myself wondering if any envied Aragorn for his success in his own wooing of her. Thanks so for the moment of light-heartedness!

Oh! You sketch this scene so deftly. I can see it quite clearly. Such a wide sweep of history included in this short piece...

Lovely.

Author Reply: I'm glad I apparently managed to achieve the effect I'd wanted for this story. Thanks so!

very credible scene in which Elrond states his case of what may be for Arwen to be wed. I love this series so far!

Author Reply: Am so glad you find it credible, Periantari. Am trying to move it along again.

Happy Gondorian New Year!

it will be both desirable and attainable

Only Elrond loremaster, who had studied -- and lived through -- so much, could foresee that such a bride price could be attainable. Perhaps he has safeguarded his brother's descendants towards this very outcome.

Author Reply: A thought-provoking consideration, Shirebound. I'd not thought of him perhaps being conscious of a potential future time when such a motivation might have been necessary to inspire one of his brother's progeny to work to such an end.

This is lovely.

" Having seen him, she paused, recognizing the worship in the young Man’s eyes, not recognizing as yet the slight stir in her own heart"

Such a poignant line. I really like this.


Author Reply: How glad I am that you were moved by this. Thank you so, RS.

that had filled his heart with ineffable hints of glory unseen

Lovely. Your images are both subtle and powerful.

Author Reply: Oh, but thank you so, Shirebound!
