Thank you, that was good to hear (especially the part about provoking thoughts!).

I like to consider how Elrond and Elros might have regarded their upbringing; did they speak of it? Think often of Maglor and Maedhros? I like to think that they did, but of course--as this story points out--it is a matter much more complicated than that.

Decidedly complicated - which is why I find it interesting. Especially as most Elves weren't terribly good at forgiving and forgetting. I often wonder what Celeborn thought about his son-in-law's upbringing and if they ever discussed it.

And thanks for the guideline info!
