Rebuilding

This is a sequel to my short story, Footnote to the Akallabêth, which although half a joke when written has bred plot bunnies.  However all you need to know is that story assumed Tirion was destroyed when the Valar caused the army of Ar-Pharazôn to be swallowed by the earth.

The name Kôr is from Tolkien’s earliest writings, I have borrowed it as the name for Finarfin’s new city.

Findis comes back to the flattened(!) Tirion and asks her brother Finarfin whether he would welcome her help to build the new Noldor city of Kôr. She married a Vanya and left Tirion when he was young, and most of all left a place where their brother Fëanáro was omnipresent (even when he was gone) (and dead). Kôr will be an opportunity to rebuild their family relationships and perhaps the Noldor.

It occurs to me that Finrod had experience from building Nargothrond, and perhaps Lalwen and Indis could also contribute. Much needed healing....

Thank you!  Finrod will cetainly be using his Nargothrond experience to contribute, there just wasn't a role for him in this story.  

Perhaps I should have made it clear in the note - they're not at the site of Tirion, because Finarfin doesn't want to live on top of a lot of Númenórean bodies, and neither, really, does any one else.  So it's a new site and a new start, for, as you say, needed healing
