Well said Morwen Tindomerel, and perfectly plausable though all this is purely conjecture on all our parts since J.R. wrote the whole of the story that is known, whether in his published appendices or in Chris's editions. I do like your way of thinking on all this and it helps me in a bit I am writing. Surely there are stores of scrolls in Fornost, Annúminas, Tharbad, and other places un-discovered. It will be great to have the Lore of Arnor known, though surely much was plundered when the north was overrun.
