As you may have guessed, the weight of all these ancestors - both Elven and mortal - on the shoulders of the later line of Elros is something that I've been chewing on lately, so this fic ran in an open door with me! Wonderful reaction from Elrond (who is probably famliar with the feeling, although the list of (in)famous ancestors is a lot shorter for him). Once again, you say so much in so few words.

On one hand, it must have been intimidating to have all those greats (and not-so-greats ;)) as the ancestors. But on the other hand, it's a pity I don't have anybody who could tell me, "Oh, I was there when your great- great- great- great ... grandfather did this or that". Eh.

Lovely read, very thought-provoking. Thank you :)
