Re: Peredhel

Is there any word out on future publications ala Unfinished/History?
I got the impression that Vol. 12 was the end of the line though CRRT says there are 'complex philological 'writings [elven] that didn't make the HoME cut.

The Dior thing is quite a mystery since there is no mention of any dispute in doriath of of a Mortal ruling a kingdom of Elves. This could be due to the incredible reverance Beren and Luthien were held [ not too mention the desperate state Doriath had fallen into] or is it not possible that Dior's race was never pre-or dained by the Valar.
There decision regarding the Half-Elven did not come till after Earendil reached Valinor.
I suppose this could be that the Valar knew that Dior would not live long -so it would never become an issue.
Yet the idea of a man rul;ing a kingdom of Elves
and it's uniqueness never being commented on I find remarkable.
