This story is very touching to me! I like the moments of connection between Legolas and the old tree.

Growing things and crafted things shall dwell in harmony here, and we shall call this land Eregion. - I like that -- it seems very in-character for Celebrimbor, that he wants to build without destroying!

Celebrimbor has an open heart and friendship for everyone. His city thrives and grows in beauty, and his people grow in skill. - That's a lovely description! And it's how I think of Celebrimbor too.

I like the tree's empathy and concern towards Celebrimbor and his people! And I like seeing the rise and fall of Eregion from the tree's point of view -- it's an unusual perspective, but an enjoyable one! It's touching again how the tree is happy to know that the Noldor who lived there could live again in the West, and its thoughts of being reborn there with them. The ending is beautiful and sad but hopeful, very fitting for the Silmarillion.
