Ooh, my semi-hemi-demi-Elven neck hairs are positively erect in anticipation!

I really have nothing to say, except that, I believe this is going to be an award-winning game in every respect, considering the almightiness of the Owner, the comprehensive ideas, and the cast so far. If ever it is finished, nay, begun, it shall most likely be worthy of the Tolkienion Medal of Honor. Such a delving into one of Tolkien's undiscussed aspects has not been, I daresay, successfully attempted before, save in a few instances. So, in short, I can't wait.

Alak, if I may insert an opinion, if you are not already going to take up Bêthberry's proposal and offer, I suggest that such a developement might be very interesting. Morgôs, as an Avari General and a Elf who's warred with Alanzia for centuries, is not entirely trusting of Queen Bekah, and bears a deep resentment against King Faroz for marrying an Alanzian for political reasons. If, by some courtly quirk, Morgôs' own spouse was part of the Queen's entourage...well, I believe you get the idea (consults nearest copy of Suetonius' The Twelve Caesars to get into politcal mood).

Fordim: If we have, as you said, the latitude to creat secondary, assisting characters, I assume that I have some leeway to create a few ideosynchratic officers to clutter up the ranks of the Pashtian army, yes? I can run a few ideas by you when they are prepared. Ought the higher echelons of the Pashtian military be Avari or mortal, by the way?
