Helen,

That's a great piece on Gamba and his descendents, but there's one place where our chronologies id not jive.

You had Cami going to Rivendell after Asta and Roka came of age. Wouldn't they be of age in another 22 years? That would make Cami retiring to Rivendell when she was just 72 which is way too young.

Plus, there's no way she would trot off to Rivendell when Ban and Maura hadn't even come of age. I see her sticking around to age 96 or 97, getting some grandchildren from Rose and the others! She wouldn't have left until her last child was married and settled, or at least come of age.

Cami lived to be 100 years old and went to Rivendell for the last 3-4 years of her life. If you want to keep the same time line for Gamba, you could just have him leave Cami after Rose gets married and has children of her own. That would probably happen in 20-25 years. Presumably, Gamba still would have come back and visited Rose and Cami occasionally.

What do you think?
