This is hilarious. Even the title is an insult (per Sindarin reckoning). And the greetings: "who hath seen fit to style himself King in Nargothrond" hahaha. (He has a point honestly). 

Say what you will about Caranthir, he's clever with his insults. I bet Finrod can appreciate that. 

Hm, sounds like there might be a little less than all due respect there, or the letter writer considers there isn't much respect due - "who hath seen fit to style himself"?

(Interesting way to start a letter asking for a favor, Carnistir...)

Oh Moryo, you pompous ass!

I love the way he styles Finrod, and then himself. And the "with all due ...  etc." made me snort!

Looking forward to enjoying the rest after TRSB reveals.
