The interview mentioned in this entry looks interesting: can we read it somewhere? Meneldur 17:49, 12 June 2006 (EDT)

People should copy 'n' paste everything if they "loan" stuff from Wikipedia articles ;-) --Earendilyon 14:59, 13 June 2006 (EDT)
Completely agree. Hopefully this site will one day be clear of everything "loaned" from Wikipedia. I fixed the citation problem. --Ebakunin 16:33, 13 June 2006 (EDT)

The change made by the user Sage on 15 october 2020 that Berúthiel was born in an Inland city is a speculation. J.R.R. Tolkien did not say in the interview that she was born in the inland city, he merely said that she went back to the inland city. Based on the context of the sentences about Skadi going back to Jotunheim preceding the statement about Berúthiel going back to the inland city and her being set on a ship that was last seen flying past Umbar in Unfinished Tales, it is probable that this means that she did not go back from the villa close to the sea below Pelargir to an inland city in Gondor (e.g. did not go back to Osgiliath, which was also on or next to a big river), but that she went back to the Black númenórean inland city where she came from before the marriage with Tarannon. We do not know if she was also born in that city or if she was born in another place. I recommend to change this that she was probably from an inland city in Harad that was further South than Umbar or that she was probably from an inland city in Harad. --Akhorahil 08:57, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The Internet link to the Interview does not work anymore. I found another Website with the interview and will change the link when I have time. --Akhorahil 08:59, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
