Table of Contents
Annael refuses to leave Hithlum.
Set during the journey to Hithlum described in the first chapter of "Such Great Deeds", but all you really need to know is that Beleg was carrying a message from Thingol and that this is set after the arrival of the Noldor in Hithlum.
A first meeting between Rian and Annael, just after she has arrived in Hithlum as refugee.
Written for Amy Fortuna, for her prompt: I would like a story about Rían discovering her talent as a singer and songwriter as a young girl. Did she sing any songs about events we're aware of?
Extra warning: possibly triggering for arachnophobia.
Annael tells his fosterling Tuor about times past.
Elves have long memories--and Rian was not the only one of Tuor's family that Annael once knew.
Fingon shows Annael the entrance to the Gate of the Noldor, the secret escape route to the coast.
It is the time after the Dagor Bragollach. Many Sindar have already fled south.
Another conversation between Annael and his foster son Tuor:
Of the sun and of elves and men.
Annael took part in the Battle of Unnumbered Tears.
Warnings for this drabble: references to PTSD and canonical suicide
Annael, after all, ends up leaving Hithlum.
