			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class='storymeta'><a href='http://jdemorae.slashcity.net/tolkien/tindome.html' title='Read story'>Promises to Keep</a> by Jacynthe Demorae</p><p>The link is to her main Tolkien fic page, just scroll down. Quite a few of the links have been down for months, so I&#8217;ve also linked to them directly below.</p>
<p>At the end of the Second Age, Elrond and Isildur are friends, but that friendship is strained by the politics of tha day. Not to mention the coming war.</p>
<p>The main part of this series is a multi-part WIP called <em>Shieldmates</em>:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://jdemorae.slashcity.net/tolkien/sm_prologue.html">Prologue</a></li>
<li><a href="http://jdemorae.slashcity.net/tolkien/sm_1.html">Chapter One: The Gathering</a></li>
<li><a href="http://jdemorae.slashcity.net/tolkien/sm_2.html">Chapter Two: Dagorlad</a></li>
<li><a href="http://jdemorae.slashcity.net/tolkien/sm_3.html">Chapter Three: Siege Planning</a></li>
<li><a href="http://jdemorae.slashcity.net/tolkien/sm_4.html">Chapter Four: At the Morannon</a></li>
<li><a href="http://jdemorae.slashcity.net/tolkien/sm_5.html">Chapter Five: MÃ´riul and Dreams</a></li>
<li><a href="http://jdemorae.slashcity.net/tolkien/sm_6.html">Chapter Six: Trial of Faith</a></li>
<li><a href="http://jdemorae.slashcity.net/tolkien/sm_7.html">Chapter Seven: Alienated Nations</a></li>
<li><a href="http://jdemorae.slashcity.net/tolkien/sm_8.html">Chapter Eight: Choice of Targets</a></li>
<li>Chapter Nine: Crossing the Line</li>
<li>Chapter Ten: Neri Alveru</li>
<li>Chapter Eleven: Drowning on Dry Land</li>
</ol>
<p>(Chapters nine through eleven don&#8217;t seem to have been posted yet, despite being listed on the <em>Shieldmates</em> index page.)</p>
<p>There are also three related stories: <a href="http://jdemorae.slashcity.net/tolkien/agaranna.html">Agaranna</a>, <a href="http://jdemorae.slashcity.net/tolkien/dayriver.html">A Day by the River</a>, and <a href="http://jdemorae.slashcity.net/tolkien/nef.html">Dark Surpassing Sun</a></p>
