Glad to have you along as well, Elessar.

To be honest a setting wasn't that hard to produce, Tolkien had already named all the main characters and put in the major events, so it's up to me to come up with appropriately named minor characters and say what they did in the unwritten eras.
Carathel I felt was a very Gondorian sounding name, and that's what all of them will try to be. No 'Mikhuyprian's or other bizarre names, all the names will be based on existing LotR characters'.
For events I'll just have the small details inserted... for example we know that there was a Prince Adrahil, and that the Haradrim were already attacking Gondor by 2987, so they might fight a small battle on the River Poros.

I have yet to start Chapter 3, as I mentioned, and I am pretty much making this up as I go along, but you can be sure I'll stay as true to Tolkien's work as possible. No plot conflicts from me!

I think you've done a great job of writing these story's... I'm no book kinda guy but i do have the occasional read. I've tried reading 'The Lord Of The Rings' but only ever finished the first book for i find there is way to much description for my sort of books. I like the style of writing & it's done well without the more complicated side of things from Tolkien books.. don't know if that made a word of sense.. anyway I've never been a great fan of people writing story's but you've captured my imagination there.. I also think seeing the film helps a great deal for understanding this.. Well done & i will watch (or read) this thread with great interest. I also think it's just because I'm a great fan of the 'Gondor' side of things & enjoy the architect, masonry & all the equipment.. anyway I'll stop rambling away.

thank you
