Fanwork Notes

Fanwork Information

Summary:

Happened to come across this record while helping Círdan clear out his basement. Yes, I know I’m supposed to be taking a break. I find organization relaxing. Anyway, I’m sending it your way because I know what you’re like about any kind of Númenorean historical records, and this is an interesting one. Seems to be a first-person testimony, originally in Adunaic and translated into Westron, then later transcribed, with some notes from a Mannish historian post-Fall. Be warned: it isn’t light reading.
I’ll be returning in a week or two. Try not to let the library become impossibly disorganized in my absence. 
—Erestor

Wow I loved this so much. It's an interesting look at late 3rd age Numenor, and their methods of warfare. I also love how you incorporated footnotes, I enjoy them very much.

This is SO interesting. By turns scholarly, spooky, and, not a few times, amusing. In awe of how you handled so many layers of story - vision within tale within testimony within transcription within correspondence. *mind exploding*. 

 

Always a pleasure to read when the Philosophers make an appearance in a fic. Nimruzimir's foresight visions contain some very important points, if only they could be interpreted and articulated. Like Erestor, I wonder whether Nimruzimir developed the antidote for the Dunlendings.
