The Path Shrouded in Mist and Shadow by Meisiluosi
Fanwork Notes
DISCLAIMER: They are not mine. I merely borrowed them for a while. Once I'm done playing with them, I'll put them back on the shelf, I promise.
I am an admirer of both Tolkien and of Inner Asian and Eastern cultures.
Of course I have soft spot for First Age Easterlings.
I have also noticed that betrayers in Tolkien's legendarium tend to be intriguing people who not always start out as downright villainous and rotten. I've decided to try and venture in that direction with Ulfang and his offspring.
I hope this is just a first installment in a series.
Many thanks to Maglor Makalaure for the beta!
WARNING: I've allowed my inner philologist/culturologist/anthropologist run a bit wild.
I've also drawn some pics (drawing Easterlings is a lot of fun) - some links here:

The shadows are deepening in the East and two powerful chieftains, Ulfang and Bór, hold a meeting where much has to be decided and the future path for them and their people is to be set. That path, however, is uncertain, as their final decision has some rather complex and troubling implications.

A note on the names: We know that the names given in the legendarium are elven variations of the original names. I decided to let these people address each other in their own language:
Ylpang = Ulfang
Bör = Bór
Yldar = Uldor
