Spirit of Fire by Lotrfan

Chapter 68

Chapter 68

The ships are not as hale as he expected. Most are warped and others have splits in the wood that even the paint cannot hide. They are older than they look, rotting relics of the ships that brought them to these shores. Fëanor curses Olwë. His men have died for these ships and most of these vessels may not successfully make the voyage over the sea if his appraisal is correct. There are too many to bring across at once and he doubts the ships will survive a return voyage.

Chapter End Notes

many thanks to mangacrack for letting me borrow her idea that the ships are in poor condition and unsafe for a voyage of this magnitude. Her story King's Landing is well worth reading.
