The Hall of Fire

Cerin ... correct away!

You're right, of course. It's been a long time since I held that book in my hot little hands. I lost it somewhere along the way. And it was almost 40 years ago.

V. I can't see the picture either.

<rubs hands togerther> Ooo. An Athrabeth post :love: I've only read this through twice (a mere cursory glance) but it seems to me that we are (mostly) in agreement. The main difference being our different use of the language. Ath wrote: They serve to narrow all those uncontainable possibilities into...

I'm a British subject, Hobby, even as we speak.

Nothing so dramatic as Voronwë's pictures, I'm afraid.
