Regarding using the Lost Tales: I still think it's an interesting idea, but the doubts expressed in my previous post still stand. We have the dual problem of 1. whether we want, in principle, to let ourselves use bits from the Lost Tales freely and 2. whether that can even be done within the structure of the Valaquenta

Its always good practice in authoring to make your related storys' ends meet, so to speak. Great authors don't make a habit of contradicting themselves in later works. It could
possibly help to link as many ME stories as possible, but innumerable "wrinkles" would greatly hinder smoothing anything out. Its best to worry about making the Valaquenta's ends meet first, if you catch my meaning. Once we have a malleable format in phase, BoLT would be much more pertinent and applicable to introduce.
