Two other unresolved issues:

The Elessar. Jallanite and I agreed that we should mention Idril's giving it to Earendil and that it would have to go in FG-C-31. But no one could find any way to do that.

The Oarni. I was never completely satisfied about retaining them, though I suppose that these days I lean a bit more in that direction. They seem a little bit out of place, and we could take their absence from all future writings as implicit evidence of their rejection. On the other hand, we've got a precedent for not doing that in our reversal on the mechanical dragon issue.
