Thank you!

Yes, there is a riddle that goes like that, isn't there? I'm pretty sure I had it at the back of my mind, when I populated that boat, originally. (There are several different versions of that riddle, I think.)

A poet, a prince, a puppet.

I didn't spell the implications of that out too much, so I'm glad you clearly got it anyway!

 

Oh I remember this from the instadrabbling! Nice to revisit it all together. And Maglor's self assessment as to who he is. (Also noted that he answers what he was, rather than who.)

Thank you! 

The interaction with the Avar partly relates to the suggestion elsewhere that the Avari knew quite well where Maglor was, after the end of the First Age, but treated him as taboo. Here he discovers that this particular Avar does not seem to be as upset about having been so close to him, as he expected, and also that they have given him a name of their own, in the meantime.

Lovely! I also totally believed the fox never thought the hens were food. 

Maglor and boats... Not a love story here uh? 

I wish him luck for the future, if possible without further troubles of the sea sort.
