the guy who be short has just left Hobbiton.
Seeing as morm has done so and I have nothing better to do, I shall now tell you of the trials of inventing my title!

I probably spent even longer than morm thinking about it - just ask Kath or Fea. I was constantly asking them to provide feedback in potential titles.

Before I was asked, I wanted Herald of the Western Kings. I'm not sure why. I guess it's sort of like Nilp's - the last of an old order returning to a fallen world. Unfortunately that was too long, and didn't suit me anyway.

I played around with Herald of the Fallen West for a little while as compensation, but didn't like it.

Unnumbered Tears, though beautiful, was condemned as uninventive.

Unheeded Lamentation was very beautiful and almost adopted. I was just pondering accepting it when Kath scolded me for choosing sad titles.

Thinking about it, I decided she was right; a sad title wouldn't suit me. I was just feeling a little melancholy at the time.

So I became Shadowed Prince. I'm not sure where it came from, but I'm sure you'll agree it sounds way cool.
