Ring-Maker (смешанная)

Примечания автора:
This story was originally posted on SpaceBattles. It now has a mirror on SufficientVelocity. I post chapters to those two sites every Monday and Friday within two hours of 7 PM GMT. I decided, earlier today, to get mirrors for it both here and at fanfiction.net. Those mirrors will be updated two days after the forum mirrors are-so, Wednesday and Sunday. The reasoning for this delayed release schedule is twofold: First, the SpaceBattles readers often find errors which I want to only have to edit in two places rather than four. Second, I want to encourage people to take part in the robust discussion on the forums-SpaceBattles especially, where this fic was somehow the most popular story on the entire forum for five weeks straight, going by viewcounts. I will not be including the translation guide to the Sindarin, Quenya, Valarin, Black Speech, and Khuzdul phrases and terms I use in this story. That guide can be found on either of the forum threads, but doesn't work so well in this context. It is kept fully up-to-date, and I add terms to it as they appear in the text. My first beta, dwood15 on Spacebattles, only started assisting following Twinkle 2.2. My later betas trickled in around the beginning of Arc 3. I will credit them in each chapter they assisted with. As of now, the early chapters are currently undergoing cosmetic edits to bring them up to my more recent standards. I'll note at the start of each chapter if it has been edited. I think that's it. Without further ado, please enjoy.
