    Summary

    As the Valar would robe themselves like the Children, many of the Maiar robed themselves like other lesser living things, as trees, flowers, beasts. - (J. R. R. Tolkien, 'Myths Transformed')

    Or - a willow-spirit, some places she went, and the people she met.

    Written for TRSB22, Slide 139.

    Summary

    The biggest difference between Tol Eressëa and the Shire, Frodo discovers, is that living on Tol Eressëa comes with the possibility of running into notorious elves who died thousands of years before he was even born. Celebrimbor was never anything more than a name in a history book to him, until the living, breathing elf walks through his garden gate.

    Summary

    Makalaurë stood, unable to speak – before the Valar, mouth opening and powerful voice rendered useless – Findekáno’s uncle similarly struck dumb, and the crowd assembled below lit fearfully in fire-red, orange.
    Everyone in that dreadful first dark knew that some further calamity had occurred, but no-one could have guessed – no-one knew how to guess – just what it was.

     

    What if it were Maedhros at Formenos that night, and not Finwe?
