Recently I was listening to Celtic Woman's version of "You Raise Me Up" while I was working on the beginning of the next section of
The Archer's Tale and thought the verses of that song are a surprisingly fitting theme for the whole story. Aeronwen has gone from being the hidden princess, to the banished outcast, to a wandering adventurer, to a strong warrior, to a demi-god, to finally a God-Queen...because someone offered his friendship and raised her up.
Speaking as her creator and one who knows her quite well, Aeronwen really did become more than she ever would have been had she never known Dagoth Ur: http://pics.livejournal.com/mythic_memory/pic/0004bc3d
