An Appeal to the Tolkien Experts on the Flist

[przed]

I've been through the appendices and the book with a fine tooth comb and I can't find any mention of this:

Does anyone know if Finduilas would have been buried in the House of the Stewards, or was that privilege reserved only for the Stewards?

If no one tells me different, I'm making an educated guess and putting her there anyway.

Volume 12, Peoples of Middle-Earth, of the History of Middle-Earth series, has a section devoted to The Line of Dol Amroth, and that might help. Mine's packed in a box 1100 miles away, or I'd look it up for you.

Thanks! I owe you big.

Two branches of our local big book chain supposedly have copies, so I'm going to drag my butt off my sick bed (I either have croup or pneumonia; find out about the pneumonia on Monday) tomorrow and go grab a copy. Looks like a book I should have anyway.

Jeez, if you are that sick, for goodness sake, have somebody else look it up. Stay in bed! Heal!

Aw, you're no fun. (You can see the fun Don had with me while I was off on medical leave. And why your card was so appropriate.)

Well, maybe I can talk Don into going... Or maybe I'll have stopped hacking up a lung by tomorrow. Yeah, right.

Don did the big sweetheart thing and went out and picked up a copy of The Peoples of Middle Earth for me this afternoon. And there's absolutely no mention of where Finduilas was laid to rest, just two mentions that she "died untimely." So, I'm going to do what I like.

I was interested to read that Denethor was Ecthelion's third child and first son. So, he's got two sisters that Tolkien didn't even both naming. Sigh.

Arwen actually means "king's woman" so he barely gave her a name anyhow. Typical.

Jeez, that is typical, isn't it. I'm surprised Eowyn got as much to do as she did in the books.

Oh, and I just sent you a copy of the story. You can let me know if it's crap.
