Folwren,

A valid question that also crossed my mind: how are we going to make this come one with the same ending as Tolkien did? Littlemanpoet definitely needs to weigh in on this.

I suppose there is more than one way to handle this. A few spring to mind. One possibility is that Jord is able to shield all or part of the information from Thorn so that he only suspects what might be going on and must find out more to be able to persuade anyone, which he somehow fails to do. Another possibility is that Thorn tries to warn Lachrandir but, for whatever reason, the Elf turns a deaf ear so that it never goes beyond the two. (Or is this stretching the storyline too far?) There is also the possibility that Thorn does learn exactly what is going on, but somehow does not live long enough to make use of his information.

Perhaps Littlemanpoet has additional ideas, or has already thought this through.
