This is excellent. I remember ages and ages ago we talked about the White City's water supply and wondered where it came from. You took that idle question and gave it weight and depth. I can't even begin to imagine the research that has gone into this. And blind fish, too! Awesome!

Thank you so much. Yes, I think there was even a discussion over on HASA about whether the City had sewers. There actually are species of fish that have adapted themselves to caves and underground rivers. They remind me of Gollum, lol.

I remember reading about those blind fish in a Trixie Belden book when I was little, and being fascinated by them!

Fascinating stuff - and what a good last line.

Thanks so much! I'm making it all up, of course, but since Tolkien mentions fountains, there had to have been some kind of waterworks. :)
