How about 'our', meaning either Thingol and Melian, or Doriath, or all Beleriand (through the Nirnaeth)?

I think dropping 'foolish' has made a lot of difference in my mind, to the point where I'm not looking solely at these two options:

Your reckless words have dealt our death-blow!

or, reverting:

Your reckless words have lost the battle!

Sorry, I know I'm running in circles...!

The Leithian Script is a large part of why I love Finrod so much. It's been very, very hard to shake off its visuals, too - that's actually why I based the Zong portraits directly on the actors, because otherwise I'd wind up copying the Script's images! (The Corollaire is already a direct reference...) It does suffer from massive scope-creep, though: Acts I and II are stageable, Act III would at least be filmable, but Act IV is a monster bringing in literally every character she could think of. Also: unfinished, which is deeply frustrating.

What is not unfinished - any more - is the Finrod-Zong Prologue! I've finally put all the slides together, and while I'll probably tweak some of the transitions at some point, I'm happy with this as the 'dress rehearsal'.

01 - Galadriel's Lament

Which at last brings all the current songs to their 'final state', except for the old logo all over the place. I'm very pleased to have that sorted.
