ArcusCalion has just left Hobbiton.
1) I think this is a large issue we need to discuss for the whole of the project. The authorial voice creeps in in the final chapter as well very prominently, and the decision made here affects it. Personally, I think gandalf's logic is sound, but I would love to hear Fin's thoughts.

2) I know we already used it, but it is being used here as evidence to prove a point, and since it is a small repetition, I do not think we need to remove it here. Some repetition of small bits like this isn't bad.

3) Thank you for catching these! As for sceptre/scepter it's just the British vs American spelling. My documents are all in American spelling, but Tolkien's are in British. A minor English oddity.

4) I agree to this, nice catch!
