    Summary

    “For no war ever ends. Children born tomorrow are shaped by arrows fired yesterday. Celeborn’s daughter was born over a thousand years after the sacking of her father’s birthplace. She will live to the breaking of the world having only ever known a father who once watched his homeland burn and spent the rest of his life counting Doriath’s dead. Like all war-children born to a world that had already ended for their parents, Celebrían had to learn there were rooms within her father she could never enter, whole wings of his fëa razed to the ground.”
    —————
    A study of Celeborn, the Second Kinslaying, and his lost Doriath, from the First Age to the Fourth.

    Summary

    Nimloth retired early to her chamber as she did most nights, and like most nights she stayed awake late. When the quiet room lit by warm yellow candlelight became unbearable, she stepped onto the balcony and breathed the sea air in deep until her lungs burned. Sometimes the water roared so loud her thoughts were drowned, but tonight it had no such mercy. The gulls cried, and on the shore, a woman sang.

    Lúthien, Nimloth thought, and then, Elwing.
