ridiculously fatalistic, i think. there's a simpler, more "provable" reason. war begets war. ~shrugs~ study history you see it ALL the time. the second world war had a direct anscestor to Charlemagne and the division of Europe, etc. who know's what the consequences of, say, Iraq will be a hundred years from now?
sorry, i guess this review was a bit too serious for the story. i read it for the intriguing concept, that glorfindel and erestor and discussing legolas's part in the fellowship. tolkien admits himself that he didnt' give him a huge part.

Interesting... I like this idea a lot.

WONDERFULLY written--and by a fan well-versed in the Tolkien worlds no less. You have a fabulous vocabulary yourself, and I was very amused. XD Is this going to be continued at all?
