I'm off tonight on my way to Italy, via France, and won't be back till the 13th of April.
With so many absences, perhaps a break is in order...unless pio, Child and Envinyatur are around and happy Mandosing. This is developing wonderfully...

My save is filled. Since we have such a lot of "time to fill", I am letting this develop slowly....

I'm a little unclear -- how does Namo think Giledhel has been faithless to her husband and family. Orc brain here is not processing that.

Dear Orc,
Here is how Namo views things..... From Namo's perspective, Giledhel was "faithless" to husband and family in refusing his initial call to come to Mandos. I am assuming these are the values with which Elves are raised: to return to the Halls of Mandos when death strikes. To remain houseless and drifting would seem to be contary to the path laid out for Elvenkind. He feels she should have obediently returned to Mandos and encouraged the Orcseys to come with her as well. I know we have a plotline that we must bury the bodies in order for them to find peace. But I am assuming that they would initially have been free to fly to Mandos. The need for burial only came after their extended stay. Oh, my! I hope you don't think that Namo was referring to her relations with the gentlemen Orcs. Namo, for all his grim demeanor, is not so indelicate, and, although Gildedhel's behavior is certainly daft, she is very much a well behaved lady!  If you prefer different wording, or have problems with these ideas, let me know and I will try to edit. Alternately, you are welcome to raise this question in the story.... Namo (the guy with the scythe)

 Have mercy! That was absolutely hilarious! I never even thought of that. Anyways - thanks for giving me a peek into the doom-meister's brain . . .
