The Songs: A Story of East Beleriand by Himring

| | |

Fanwork Notes

A WIP that I have worked on for a number of challenges, with extracts posted in various locations in different places.

I will add the relevant tags for the challenges as I go along and get to the relevant sections.

Elrond is already tagged as a character but will not appear until a later chapter.

 

I have decided that Chapter 2 is sufficiently relevant to the themes of the Breaking Boundaries challenge that it can count as a fill, although that chapter previously existed in outline. In fact, relations and interactions between Noldor and Sindar are a significant strand in the whole story.

Now with art by Anerea linked from Chapter Five (in end note)!
