Yes, please, my cat would like to participate. I do have a possible angle here. As Piosenniel and Child of the 7th Age know from the Inn, Tevildo is under the illusion that he was once a member of Melkor's household, charged with the gathering of meat. He has many memories from the First Age which is why he spoke with the two-leggeds in the long robes.

I personally believe that Tevildo was not a member of Melkor's following, but has "inherited dreams" in the same way that JRRT and his son did concerning Numenor and the great wave. Tevildo's ancestors (like all cats

) apparently had dealings with Melkor and can remember many things about life in the Dark Lord's household.

It is quite possible that he will be able to remember something about this wraith thing if and when he sees him. Perhaps he will remember horrible scenes in the dungeon when poor Elves were being tortured and such.

Would something like this work as one small piece in unravelling this puzzle?

Animal writers, play it up, I say!

This unwraith is going to be so harrassed by an erstwhile "battle of bywater" event, I think.... I just hope it doesn't get tooooo funny.

EDIT: Great post, Child! That'll help to balance the comic with the serious. Snow Owl has some great ideas, I'm thinking....

Also, when Wenda is a reindeer, I suppose she thinks and communicates like an animal. It probably doesn't carry over into any ability to understand animals' 'words' when she's in human form, but there is a base level of understanding and sympathy.... I'll keep that in mind as I write.

I have yet to read Envinyatar's filled save, but I'll ask anyway: Is there anything that anybody wants to post before I move time along toward sundown and a certain confrontation.....?

Tevildo needs to respond to Mori, but I've posted a save. From my perspective, feel free to move ahead
