This is fantastic, Uvatha, all the way round! Excellent OCs, a canon character who receives sparse attention on the SWG (Castamir), and well-crafted prose that allows the scenes to unfold.  Great attention to detail.  In sort, very fine "world-building" there!

I thoroughly enjoyed the process of the scholars' detective work, and their ultimate conclusion.

This gets tagged as a favorite. :^)

Thank you so much! This is a chapter from a book-length saga (close to done, but not uploaded yet) that runs from his illegitimate birth through the days after the battle at the Black Gate, when he'd trying to get back to Barad-dur on foot. "If I can just make it home, I'll be okay."

Came here on the recommendation of Pandemonium, and I enjoyed this story very much! I've had Black Númenóreans on the brain lately and want to read more about them. And I'm a sucker for stories involving archaeology (or palaeography) -- artifacts of any kind. The mental image of Mairon/Sauron sitting down to actually write a letter is delicious.

Can't wait to read the rest of your epic work!
