Oh what a great idea!  I love having the Crebain be the characters here, and their willingness to follow Saruman only because of Radagast!  (poor Radagast!)

So glad Khaw (hehe, love the name!) found a welcome and a new place to call home <3

Glad to hear you like the idea!

Yes, poor Radagast, I've placed quite a burden on his shoulders here, but it did seem to fit in with what we see going on in LOTR. 

(Huinare used to write a series of stories in which Saruman was given a craban by Radagast as house-warming gift when he moved into Orthanc and the emotional bond he develops with it. It was touching, sad and funny at the same time.)

Also, Tolkien's crow words are fun! I also liked corch, but it sounded more obviously Elvish than crunc. Maybe I'll use it somewhere else, one day!

I love this — I can hear the music in it, feel Khaw’s urgency and determination. I’m very glad she found Radagast and survived the ring war.
