Full of Wisdom and Perfect in Beauty

Wow! What a twist - another baby, a son! Very interesting. Strange, though, that Gimilzor hadn't ordered to get rid of both babies, considering that, girl or not, Miriel still had the right to the Crown.
The description of Miriel having Inzilbeth's eyes was very touching. So she had got the jewel - very appropriate.
Also I liked Gimilzor being so "normal" while holding his granddaughter. There is not much that would shake his resolve, it seems.
Thanks for the great chapter, Maeve.

According to the customs of late Númenor, I (as well as Inziladûn himself) doubt very much that she does. The legitimating identification between monarch and guardian god is rendered impossible by her gender. And then, there´s the precedent (the traitor Alissha).

No, he´s finally reaching his goal of perfection. : ( )
Thanks for the great chapter, Maeve.
Oh, no, thanks to you for reviewing, you rule!
