OK, folks-this is the general forum now for questions that don't seem to fit in any of the other threads. I'm going to sort some of the earlier posts into the appropriate forums, but it might take a while, so bear with me. I'll delete the ones that have already been reposted by their authors.

Loved loved loved Lossarnach Yule! And as always...

I understood the old religion to be local to Lossarnach. Or is it more widespread throughout southern and western Gondor? How widespread is the Standing Silence? I had thought it was something that Faramir had started among the Rangers. Did they just do it because the Rangers were there? This is an even more obscure curiosity, but what are the summer observations of the three faces of the Goddess?

Thanks for putting in Heth’s age (I assumed it was what she was at the beginning of Blackbow). I think I’m all straightened out now on the question I asked in an earlier post about her age in different stories. Is there anything significant about not being the youngest Ranger - besides the obvious of having some of the teasing deflected? How did Faramir adjust new recruits coming in to the idea of a woman being among the Rangers? I imagine that there's several months or more before new guys get leave, so there would be time to adjust, but was it just a standing order to never discuss Hethlin with anyone except another Ranger?

And finally, I thought you did a fine job on all the names! Not a one struck me as odd or out-of-place. :)
