Tee hee! As a Medieval & Early Modern historian myself, you have captured the Academe SO VERY WELL!! Not only that, but the silence among humans about the Pre-Unification Telmarine Period is so dead on! I'm told, for example, that to bring up the Nazis while I'm in Germany will range from needing several hours to talk it through (ie: don't bring them up lightly) to dead silence and probable future shunning (ie: don't bring them up ever).
I also like how Cair Paravel now has an opera house. And, one assumes, shops, haberdasheries, dockyards and orange-sellers. Crowded tenements? Hm. It doesn't fit. But it might, particularly if this is set quite a bit post-Silver Chair, in the just-before-Tirian phase.
Very nicely done, Mystery Author. A pleasure to read.
