    Summary

    Of all of Gondor's long history, no chapter matches the tragedy or brutality of the Kin-Strife. This intercine conflict effectively started with the death of King Valacar in the year 1432 of the Third Age and ended some 16 years later. Castamir, claiming his pure Numenorean bloodline and a descendant of the Royal line, overthrew Valacar's rightful successor on the grounds that Eldacar was of mixed descent.

    This tale is one of many. It tells of some of the people who got caught up in the dark and brutal civil war in Gondor, and begins with Castamir claiming the crown of Gondor from the defeated King Eldacar.

    This is a Gondorian tale co-written by me (Hanasian) and my wife (Alqualisse).
    Unless stated otherwise in the chapter notes, the Prologue and the odd-numbered chapters were written by Hanasian, and the even-numbered chapters were written by Alqualisse. I would also like to thank my wife Alqualisse for her editing and taking the rough edges from my writing.
