"This tale grew in the telling" I guess it was born out of a hyper-fixation on Tolkien and also my struggle with heroin addiction in younger days. It quickly became an all-consuming focus of my life, like, a huge mental roadblock that I was always *almost* ready to move past. Anyways, I'm ready to call this project done, and ready to work on something else. Those of you who waited, thanks for your patience. I'm glad it didn't end up taking 10 years.
