Number: B15
Challenges:
1. Deep Thoughts: Immortality
2. Geography of The Silmarillion: Nargothrond
Summary:

Rating: G
Warnings: (canon) character death, first draft
Characters: Balan (Bëor), Finrod
Genres: Character Study, Friendship, Mystery
Place: Nargothrond: Finrod’s quarters
Timeline: First Age: Balan’s death
Word Count (in MS Word): 368
Notes: The Man was not named “Bëor” here because Bëor is rather a title, not a proper name. The author did not research deeply about the man’s direct bloodline, so she would apologise to her readers for the mistaken names of his sons. (She only knows that Belen is truly Balan’s third son.) The story is inspired by Philosopher at Large’s works, so the tone might be similar to it on some points.
