Story notes: This story takes place three years after the fall of Mordor, in the spring and summer of 3022 of the Third Age and begins a week or so after the end of events in "Poison in the Citadel" (except for the epilogue about Pippin's arrival; he hasn't gotten to Minas Tirith yet for the first part of this story).

Some of the names of historical Gondorian persons and events are taken from the appendices at the end of ROTK, but the incident that leads to the murder of the Elf in this story, and the Elf himself, are my own creations.

Credit where it's due: To Karen, who wrote to me about a dream she'd had of Frodo's finding the ghost of an Elf-child in Minas Tirith and thought I could make a story out of it. I've changed the story, and the age of the ghost, from her original idea, but the idea was hers to begin with and I wouldn't have written this story without her suggestion.
