Fanwork Notes

Note on names: I’ve used the names of the characters as they appear in the Silmarillion, though I’m aware that they would have gone by different/altered names!

Thank you, Oshun and Tehta for beta-ing!

Really enjoyed this, and it rings all my chimes:  a fascinating glimpse of the life of the Eldar during the Great March and very nice characterization of two iconic female characters.  With regard to the former, you deftly show the extent to which the Elves have advanced since their Awakening, but that they are still rough in many ways, e.g., the stone knife.  With regard to the latter, I like the intimate feel of Indis' voice and how you've shown, through her eyes, the contrasts between her and Míriel, but also their commonality, and how they find friendship.  Ooooh, and the origins of Míriel's clan!  Very cool!
