They must have done something useful with their time in Valinor! But it makes sense that later generations would associate Valinor with posh parties and courtly romance rather than with goat-farming. :D I love this glimpse at summer fun (and cheesemaking) in Dorthonion - some happy days between all the doom and gloom!

I'm sure they did plenty of useful things with their time in Valinor! I'm inclined to think there was some sort of loose class system and that everybody wouldn't have lived the same way as their kings, but maybe that's just my inner Brit and our internalised obsession with class showing through. I'm so glad you enjoyed it; I loved writing it, it was summery and relaxing, and I got to write about cheese, which is one of my favourite things!
