And the same of Tar-Elmar could be said about The New Shadow.

I have tidied up the story in a way, which (to me at least) seems pretty nice. I have added at the end a note which says that the rest of the story was lost - and that the fate of Tal-Elmar and the rest of his proposed voyages remains unknown.
