Three Letters by Talullah

Fanwork Notes

I drew the Form/Genre: epistolary from the SWG's prompt generator... here it goes!

Many thanks to Keiliss for the lovely (and very quick!) beta.

Thanks also go to Himring, who suggested I should write a fic about this and to Heart of Oshun for raising the issue of a flat vs. round Arda on her excellent Tar-Meneldur biography.

Table of Contents

Chapter 1

Azrubêl is Eärendil's name into Adûnaic and means "Sea lover".

Írimon is Tar-Meneldur's birth name; Anardil (friend of the sun) is Tar-Aldarion's birth name.

There are a few articles with detailed analysis of Tolkien's night skies, but I needed a cheap and dirty approach and based myself on the useful "shopping list" at Wikipedia.

Aldarion was born on 700 S.A.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. The epistolary fics I've read normally have a back and forth, but I took licence. I don't remember Dangerous Liaisons terribly well but I think de Laclos also used more than two correspondents (my only epistolary novel...).

Anyway - thank you for the encouragement in writing. :)
