It seems like it's pretty common for people to not see them. I was wrong on this one!

MoL, it's not your fault; though Istien was right. Many players are not sufficiently Lore-addicted to read every bit of text they come across, hoping to find out something new (or rather, very old) and interesting.
*I* read all the text, and when I read the punchline I said aloud, "Oooooooohhhhhh, [bleep.]"
Now to another matter: did some dev name Candaith Dunadan after Candeth Martine in Asheron's Call? Challenged, lost, slain ... but Martine in his death did a great work and redeemed himself and his name for all time. Candaith made a HUGE mistake and died for it ... but the cursed lieutenant did state that the Dead would fulfill their oath to Isildur when the time came. So maybe Candaith's death has contributed toward Elessar's eventual victory. Here in the Sixth Age we have long known that the One is able to bring good out of evil.
