Perhaps we could parallel the punishments of Nimir and Chakka or Ferethor as a commentary on the cultures of Gondor and Umbar...

A good idea...but I'm going to be rather stupid here I fear, and say how exactly? Chakka's punishment would presumably be a helluva lot heavier than Nimir's (I can't find it in the text...what for? I am being fearfully dim here, I suppose, so I'm very sorry - it's late, shush), so I don't think this would work - in this instance. However, the idea of drawing parallels between Curamir and Ferethor may be an interesting one to follow up - not so much for cultural similarities as for sort of sub family ties. Could be an interesting line to follow up.

Anguiriel - ah, so Sangalazin guessed about his dear half-brother? The peacock shines brighter than we might have given it credit for... Rakin will be over directly, he just has a little brief potential torture to deal with. Once I work out how to deal with Chakka that is - as soon as we work out he's taken the antidote, Rakin and I are a little stuck...*scratches head*
