Thank you.

And now for the final posts - I did some research and find no record in Tolkien whether Uldor or Ulfast or both survive the Battle and rule in Dorthonion, although I see that Brodda did. So we can have it that either one kills the other, or both kill each other, or neither, before the treason. Which way shall we go with it?

And Tathren has to appear before Caranthir; after that, I think this is concluded.

Uldor at least can not be killed by his brothers' treachery...although I harbored that thought from the very beginning. The Silmarillion says Uldor was killed by Maglor during the battle. I'm sorry. I wanted him to be murdered by one of his brothers, too.

Shoot! I wish I had remembered that little fact when Uldor asked Thorn for a prohpecy. It would have made a scintillating once. Grrr.

Okay, we could have Ulfast attack Uldor but be killed instead. Thoughts?

I could see that as being possible. I believe Uldor himself could take on Ulfast, even without any help from some guards. I always imagined Uldor the superior of all his brothers.

Maybe I'll post something for Uldor in the next couple days. School just started yesterday and I have classes all afternoon today and tomorrow, and I don't know yet what sort of homework load I will have. So we'll see.

Good post, Elempi.

I never got that promised post up, did I? Well, well, I'll try harder this week.
