Henneth Annûn Story Archive

Just started reading this after a hiatus. This chapter finely sets up the issues and the characters involved. Intriguing how all our familiar friends are woven together into this tale with new OCs. Well done, and I look forward to reading on!

And now the party is complete... I like this human healer a bit more than his elven counterpart!

I'm really enjoying this, Larner, thank you very much.

It's good to see that the case is being investigated thoroughly even before the Judges leave Minas Tirith, and that  Aragorn is determined that everyone is to know what proper justice is.

A wonderfully understated commentary on truth, and on fathers  -- and foster fathers, guardian-cousins and all other father figures -- and sons. Loved the line: My adar, embarrass anyone?  Not, I fear in the last five thousand years at the very least.  Now there's a story idea: Elrond doing something to embarrass his children... 

Another captivating chapter, so much once hidden is beginning to surface! And so many are not what they seemed. Rich characterizations. Makes me want to read straight through to the end... But Ipromise to pause now and then and leave a comment!

I enjoy reading how justice is finally being served in the hinterlands of anorien. Bravo!

Another well crafted chapter. Harolfileg is proving to be both skilled as a healer and, true to his nature, as a finder of truth, whether the source is the trees or the innocent young mortals. What everyone knows, indeed! beautifully done!

Okay, a chapter with two dreams come true: an Ent, hiding in plain sight, and jugglers in clown face paint! Delightful.

Now, everything and everyone has gathered for the final reckoning. Such a lo of threads to hold and weave together, and so skillfully done! I can't wait to see how all these characters react in the audience to come with 'the fosterling'!

Perfect portrayals of true justice. Spot -on excellent descriptions of Aragorn, the Hobbits and the Anarion characters. I'd certainly love to have Sam's scone recipe -- even better than Bilbo's, on the word of a wizard!

Yes! I was wondering when that wax-cast footprint would reappear! As somebody famous once said, if you place a loaded pistol on the table in the first act, it must go off before the final curtain! Splendid, splendid -- justice and mercy both handed down in good measure! 

Thanks for the background story, as horrible as it is. In every age, in every world, imaginary or otherwise, I suppose, these mortal woes seemed doomed to recur -- domestic abuse, substance addiction, intimidation and bullying, uncontrolled rage, conspiracy theories, mob mentality and institutionalized prejudice. Sigh.Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.  I do appreciate your desire to put things to rights, for once.

Thanks for a gripping and enjoyable tale.
