Numenor That Was by Himring

Became Estranged from the Eldar

The Shadow has fallen on Numenor, but there are still embassies from Tol Eressea to the court at Armenelos. One of these messengers has a decision to make.

Rating: Teens (warning for reference to character death)

The ambassador from Tol Eressea was facing a diplomatic challenge. If she attended the King’s funeral, she would be perceived as flaunting her unlimited life span in the face of everyone in Numenor. If she failed to attend, she would surely be perceived as showing disrespect to the House of Elros. It did not help that this quandary had proved impossible to explain to the Maia Manwe had sent when she tried to ask for advice.

In the end, she only consulted her heart and went to Noirinan. She would never forsake that old friendship, unless they forsook it first.
