Quiet Man Cometh
We're all mad here.
If that's the case then I imagine it would be done in a manner simillar to
The Silmarillion
if needed, or other mass historical fiction. It might be easier to follow with more focus on it. Not sure. How many of the characters are all important versus those can be skipped over? It's said a lot that
War and Peace
has an obscene number of characters in it but there are really only a dozen or so that one needs to keep track of. Is
The Silmarillion
similar in fashion? I imagine that book has lots of characters in it too, especially if the fall of Gondolin makes up only a little bit of it.
Tea?
