This will be my first review here on HASA and it will be a positive one. I just wanted to tell you that I have thoroughly enjoyed following your vision of Westernesse so far and I am impressed with the level of insight and creativity that has gone into making it real. I will be looking forward to further updates.

First review ever? *awed* Oh, I feel so honoured!
Thank you very much for your appreciation. This story is so big that I wonder if I´ll ever finish -getting a push or two is always nice. :)

I continue to wait on the edge of my seat for every chapter. Although I don't agree canonically with the story, your characterisations storytelling are fantastic. I have to admit after reading the latest chapter I've fantasised of seeing Ar-Gimilzor come before Mandos and being told the fullness of his error, the fate that awaits Numenor and his punishment for having his grandchild killed. But I doubt that's in your plan, he royally deserves it though!
Long Live Tar-Palantir!
