Fanwork Notes

This whole story was heavily inspired by Encairion's The Price of Duty (and all of the Price of Eternity series). I have been planning to write about the implication of Balar's politics to Gil-galad's realm ever since I first read it. Here's my first attempt as a part of the SWG postcard challenge.

Again, I just love this!  Gil-galad most certainly would have had his hands full keeping the peace among all the vario factions, not to mention coordinating with the armies from Valinor.

I wish we had more detail on the War of Wrath, I want to write more in this period but I am stymied by the utter lack of any kind of detail to weave together!  I keep wanting to tackle a Gil-galad and Finarfin interaction but just haven't managed to work out what on earth that would be LOL

Poor Gil-galad. Meetings with these people are too painful. There are probably times when he wishes his base was a bit more stable so he could say what he thinks, or that tyrannical absolute power was acceptable....
