Question

Quote:
the phantom would pick Feanor and Turin because they are by far the most interesting characters.
And how, Seigneur fantôme, do you propose to create a nice overarching, plot-enveloping analysis out of that choice? The two of them had nothing to do with each other at all. On the other hand, a Feanor/Morgoth choice is just fraught with conflict.

Conflict=lots of stuff to write about, especially if you include the continuing drama caused by the Feanorians attempting to fulfill the Oath.

Hey, there’s an idea. Make the Oath itself a character for analysis.

Don't you mean, "May my mines richly produce."

We dwarves hate farming, you know.

Mines, then. And may no one ever roll you downstream in a barrel.
