Great job! The world and its catastrophes are fully realized. Makes me wish that there was a prequel!

I really liked your use of ORC's in this one! Seeing the Fellowship was nice, too, especially a female Aragorn. Having to put up with Merry and Pippin will do that to you. Married life suits Kili, and the idea of Thorin and Bramble comforting each other at night leaves me with very happy thoughts.
