Gruesome...? Well- natch, but that's where Nimrodel's been these thousand-whatever years. And Mithrellas, too, poor girl.

I had originally postulated that they had left The Paths of the Dead when Elessar broke the curse, envisioning the climax of the story to be at the seashore. On the other hand, we could go all the way to Erech to hunt them down. What do you think?

Hmmm, canonically, since this story is early fourth-age, the curse should be broken, and the redeemed-bad-boys all gone to their eternal rest etc. So where does that leave Erech and The Paths of the Dead? Is "that mountain still evil?" Or is the evil only in the still-demonized-and-distraught Nimrodel?

ps. Firefoot has expressed interest in the game, and is reading her way through. I find that to be happy news.
