I actually feel sorry for Denethor.

Truly a wonderful story and your portrayal of Denethor is excellent!

Thanks for reviewing! I really enjoy making people feel sorry for Denethor and then feel weird about it. ;) He's a fascinating, if frustrating, character for me.

Poor Denethor!
He may have lost more men, in that hunt, than Thorongil would have, though.

Poor Denethor indeed. Thanks for reviewing!
