Sorry for being not clear enough. I mentioned the possibility of using
The War of the Ring as overall title just as OPTION.
I fully agree to keep
The War of the Ring as title for the next chapter!
RSO-SL-01 &
RSO-SL-01.5 after
TS-SL-14: Agree. This arangment makes much more sense. But I obsereved that we have to change
HR-SL-01 slightly:[quote]
HR-SL-01<
ORP Now by fortune and his vigilance Mithrandir
had first learned of the Ring, ere Sauron had news of it; ...[/b]
The Shadow Grows,
The Ring in the Shadow and
The War of the Ring or
The Return of the King wer the first idea for titles of three volumes of the
LotR. It is recorded in
Letters; 136. The next stage in the development from
Letters, 137 & 139 was
The Return of the Shadow,
The Shadow Lengthens and
The Return of the King. In
Letters; 140 we came near to the final with
The Fellowship of the Ring,
The Two Towers and [/b]The War of the Ring[/b]. The Discussion was settled in the end mutal between Rayner Unwin and JRR Tolkien on
The Fellowship of the Ring,
The Two Towers and
The Return of the King.
That means the title have a source in JRR Tolkien. Nonetheless we can discuss if we should creat this very short chapter, or take it with or without a sub-chapter heading into one of the others. If you don’t like the short separate chapter I would leave
TS-SL-14 at the end of
The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen and take
RSO-SL-01 &
RSO-SL-01.5 at the beginning of
The Hunt for the Ring, boith without sub-heading.
HR-SL-01.5: Agreed.
FY-HL-17.5: Since at least in my format
]Of the Journey of the Black Riders according to the account that Gandalf gave to Frodo does anyhow occupy 2 lines we are free to place the line break behind ‘Black Riders’. But I would shy back from using brakets. I see no reason allowed by our rules for this insertion.
FY-HL-18.5: I could agree to use the title
The Treason of Isengard here for that part of the story you named. But we might need that title else where (see below). Anyhow I would keep the (sub-) heading
The Ring in the Shadow for the first part. A sub-heading does not have any relevance in the next chapter, so [i]The Ring Sets Out[/b] can no longer ‘apply’. I think we would in this case need a third sub-heading or must at least separate the last part about the Battle of the Hornburg and the parley at Orthanc. For this
The Treason of Isengard is also a well fitting candiadat. And I found no other. Any idea?
Anyhow I think we miss something. Is there nothing to fill the gape between ‘Grimbold's men he sent southward to join Erkenbrand.>
RSO-SL-28<
editorial addition Thus they came to the Battle of the Hornburg in time to win the field.>’ and ‘
TI-SL-01<
LotR Synopsis In the parley before the door Saruman refused to repent, and Gandalf deposed him and broke his staff, leaving him to the vigilance of the Ents.’?
To be more clear then last time, here the structure I anvision, with some remarks in breakets what is included:
Quote:
- The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen (ending with the death of Aragorn’s mother)
- The Shadow Grows (Giving the Info about Denethor and his sons and of Bilbo leaving the shire.)
- The Hunt for the Ring (HR-SL-01 & HR-SL-01.5)
-- Of the Journey of the Black Riders
according to the account that Gandalf gave to Frodo (From Mordor to the Shire)
-- The Ring Set Out (From the shire to Rivendell)
- The Treason of Isengard
-- The Ring in the Shadow (The journey of the Fellowship to Rauros and then farther on to Rohan)
-- The Battles of the Fords of Isen (similar as in UT)
-- * * * (The Battle of Hornburg and the parley at Orthanc)
The War of the Ring
The End of the Third Age
