The Illgotten Son by Gadira
Fanwork Notes
Marked preference for the "War of the Jewels" version (where Eöl is an escaped thrall of Morgoth and Aredhel is less than willing to become his wife)

This has been completely rewritten. (the notes have been used again, though)
Thanks to Margit for her beta.
The scenarios of this chapter were written following very closely Tolkien´s unfinished story "Of Tuor and his coming to Gondolin." All changes are deliberate.
Thanks to Margit for her beta, and to Finch for turning Aredhel into a woman again. :).
This has been written four years after the rest. Tolkien text is directly quoted in some very few passages, bleh bleh.
