The Return of the King, like TTT, presents a challenge as we have four concurrent story lines to follow that only converge at the end. In order to keep the PJ sequencing yet not have 76 short or 15 large sequences, some will combine two or more story lines. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding the set of sequences. Note that the sequence sets are provisional and may change.
