Lalwendë, in response to your question, yes, technically. The end of initial first posts should be when everyone has been rounded up and ready for evacuation from Fornost. The battle will still be going on (I have a second post to be placed up after all the First Posts which will show the end of the battle) at the end of all first posts. CoD's and Saurreg's posts have a good grasp of what is going on, so use that template as a rubric, but, civilians would not be in the same situations.
All first posts should include, at some point, rendez-vous and/or rescue by the rearguard, which is sweeping through the city to round up the Elves and survivors, as my First Post specified. The idea of your post sounds like it could fit, but the 'visit' with your character's father must be done keeping in mind that the city has been overtaken, even though the rearguard is holding off the Angmar-host.
pio, I have to spruce up that Prologue a bit, then I'll post it to here. Thanks for that informational point about the Arnorian military, by the way.
