Actually, I'm really excited to hear more of this osanwe. When I read your post I thought that it would be a totally awesome loop to add to the story - which it already is. I was coming up with possible reasons for why it is there - ranging from "Harreld is just an introspective person" (which is what
lmp says) to "he is an indirect (and unknowing) descendant of an Elf, probably Mithrellas, but perhaps of Luthien-through Numenor, so he has more potential than other Humans"... And all kind of crazy combinations in between...
So, in other words, I
really like the osanwe discovery. And your post, btw.
I'll write up a post for Theolain today.
