On the contrary.

Yes, Ædegard's oath... and, if I may say so, Leafa's worry over and disapproval of it.

I'm thinking that this oath could make quite a climatic end to this story. Aeron, though he thinks little of it now, will definitely want to think twice before killing the elf . Also from the elves experiences with rash oaths (*sniffs for poor Fingolfin and Feanor*) I'm sure that there might be a delightful conflict that could lead to a eucataastrophe -- but brighter minds than mine will have figure out how to do that.

How old is Nethwador?

I waffle about Nethwador's age. Somewhere between fifteen and eighteen. Would Bella mind if he was still sixteen? I'd prefer as close to sixteen as I can get him. He's smallish, too, from living off of slim pickings on the plains.

Name: Bellyn, or “Bella”
Age: 18 or so
Race: Gondorian
Gender: Female

For he is only sixteen years and I am... er... eighteen.

Keep this in mind, Bella, when deciding if you care that Nethwador is younger than you or not.... Leafa is older than Ædegard.... by just a leetle bit.

Imladris, you're right, Ædegard's oath could be a great (and terrible, from the in character point of view) thing for the story. Except, hear ye all and take warning... Liornung and I are going to shed bitter tears and go off to play lonely songs on our fiddles if Ædegard and Leafa don't have a happy ending.

And I hope we're going to have a scene with them heading home, whether it ends just there or it ends after they get home. I few months ago I learned a beautiful 'going home' song and I want Liornung to sing it.

By the way, for more light-hearted plot movement (seeing as we're looking at romance troubles and terrible oaths right now), perhaps the characters could spend a little bit of time helping Liornung out with the Ballad.

Eh. I've heard of bigger gaps than two years (give or take). My friend's grandparents were fourteen years apart!

If they really loved each other I highly doubt Bella would mind two years. ::shrug::

Where to next, exactly? Off to find the elf and Raefindan? What about Nimrodel? Would Amroth reemerge if they were not searching for Nimrodel?

Fortunately for the storyline, Swampy and Raefindan are in pursuit of Nimrodel themselves. So if we are following Raefindan, and hence Swampy, he will more or less lead us to Nimrodel.

Amroth cannot re-emerge without Mellondu's permission. Here's the trick: Mellondu *likes* dreaming about Nimrodel. Right now he's still quite angry about Amroth's willingness to sacrifice Mellonin to the swamp elf (Maegeleb, isn't it?). But that anger will slowly fade, because Mellondu doesn't stay mad at anyone for very long.

He is not uninterested in finding Nimrodel.
