In Middle-earth everything is hereditary. I think the heir to a Legate would be a Tribune, so congratulations to Tribune *Legalomien too. ^_^

Thank y'all! I should say that it is also a joy and privilege that the little one has been born into such an amazing extended family that the 'Downs are.

Now that is certainly a complicated topic indeed, it would probably easily fill its own thread by the amount of possibilities.

Penguin180 certainly sounds like a username.

In the name of Eru, no! I had not considered the potential genetic outcome in this particular field, and now I am dreading, should the hour ever come, reading such a person's Werewolf-analyses.

Ha! Indeed! Nice catch.

Obviously though if the Legate part is accounted for in the Tribune, then it should logically be something like Tribune of Amon Lóm. - Hey! Of course! How about something like...

*dramatic drumroll*

Tribune of Dor-Lómin?

Finally here! Apart from the werechick keeping me busy, our new internet provider seems to block the 'Down by default I had to install a free vpn just to get here...

Thank you all so much for the congratulations <3 I had a good chuckle about the usernames too; and how cute if she was a tribune! Let's also hope the kid doesn't take after her parents (and grandpa) as a werewolf player - just imagine the floodposting with her genes...

Congradulations to you both.

It already has - for instance I just started listening to The Silmarillion as an audiobook so she has been exposed to the Ainulindalë. (And unfortunately she might have heard some sounds of The Rings of Power too. ) I also played/sang her some songs from the old Finnish LotR theatre/tv production... her favourite seemed to be Gimli's song of Dúrin which he sings in Moria. Interesting choice, I daresay! I guess 'Downs indoctrination will have to wait a little longer...
