Griphook always will be the master manipulator, won't he? How you intertwined the story of the sword and tradition with Filius' lost past and half-forgotten self is brilliant, especially with the subtle nuances about language. And the end is really a blow to the stomach. Especially if you follow a certain implication at the end with Gringotts as a mausoleum for teh dead and Griphook crying...wow.
