Should it be "a group of warriors travel" (no s)? Also, take diacritical
off 'E' in Eomer?

It's group, singular (of warriors), so it should be "group...
travels". Unless the author is British, in which case "group...
travel" could be correct.

I agree on Dwim's other comments, by the way.

It's tricky, because yes, a group travels, but warriors tavel. But when I
said "A group of warriors travels... It just didn't sound right. So I
changed it to travel to go with warriors. I think it could probably go
either way.

Stangely enough, there were only two dots this time in the spreadsheet. I
added two more,b ecause at the end of a sentence an ellisis wshould have
four dots.

I don't think the authors are British, but I'm going to let their wording
stay. Which means we put the s back on.

I think it can stay without F/T since he only considers pursuing.

Yes. Though there are some stories that are part of a series in which all
of the series has been nominated. I'm thinking of the Elfings and the one
with Naming the Stones, etc. Also, Cassia and Siobhan's Mellon Chronicles.

Okay, though that goes against my nature. Still there are other
non-capitalized titles in the nominations here.
