The Noldolantë (Sirion verses) by Tehta

| | |

Fanwork Notes

This was written for the Bollywood challenge over at the Silmarillion Writers’ Guild, where I was assigned the prompt “include a song and/or dance number”. Well, the best song number for the Silmarillion is clearly something from the Noldolantë!

Since I am not a musician, I had to use an existing tune. I chose this one.
I know, I know, it would fit so many other Legendarium situations with far fewer rewrites. But this is what came to me.

The song you picked came as a real surprise to me. You got a lot out of that choice!

Ouch! Not sure whether I'm aching with laughter or with horror. That is, I mean, obviously it's both.

That moment when that poor guy walks onto Maglor's sword... 

I also like the description of the scene you started with.
