Wow, this is very different, and very interesting. I liked it a lot! It's always cool to see a different side of villains.

What a sad, sad story. I appreciate the complexity of the issue. You did a masterful job of setting out a sympathetic perspective. Well done!

Thought I'd post my MEFA review here.  A story that gives us a sympathetic view of a villain. It captures how misunderstanding, plotting, and manipulation could lead to tragedy and how one young man becomes the unwitting pawn in the game between the Feanorians and the men who betray them in the Battle of Unnumbered Tears. I'm very impressed with how strong Uldor's voice is and the fact that I sympathize with him almost up until the end. The final scene of Maglor tearing through the battle to exact revenge is just amazing.

Now you've gone and made me feel sorry for Uldor! As an outsider to both his people and (of course) the Eldar, it would make sense that he wouldn't be able to make a firm stand once his brothers had gained leverage on him. As I only read this after reading "Left Behind", I knew that something good would come out of this for Ulrica, at least, but that didn't make Uldor's story any less sad. When realisation dawns on him just before his death, that was a really heart-breaking moment.
