The Fate of the Silmarils

• Second Prophecy of Mandos
• The fate of the Silmarils
•   The fate of Morgoth

Of the Three Lights
The making of lightstones was known to the Quorin. Great was their grief at imprisoning light of the Trees. Woeful were these masters of light, and deep was their wrath for the deeds of Fëanor and the desecration he fashioned.

The Prophecy of Namo of Mandos to the Children of Ilúvatar.
Namo the Vala, whose sister Nienna was patron to Quorin of Tol Úpahtëa, and shepherded the Feä of Elves in the grim Halls of Mandos, did counsel the Valar.
Thus spake Mandos in prophecy, when the Gods sat in judgement in Valinor, and the rumour of his words was whispered among all the Elves of the West. “When the world is old and the Powers grow weary, then Morgoth, seeing that the guard sleepeth, shall come back through the Door of Night out of the Timeless Void; and he shall destroy the Sun and Moon. But Eärendil shall descend upon him as a white and searing flame and drive him from the airs. Then shall the Last Battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor. In that day Tulkas shall strive with Morgoth, and on his right hand shall be Fionwe, and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, coming from the halls of Mandos; and the black sword of Turin shall deal unto Morgoth his death and final end; and so shall the children of Hurin and all Men be avenged.
Thereafter shall Earth be broken and re-made, and the Silmarils shall be recovered out of Air and Earth and Sea; for Eärendil the Mariner shall descend and surrender that flame which he hath had in keeping. Then Fëanor shall take the Three Jewels and bear them to Yavanna Palurien; and she will break them and with their fire rekindle the Two Trees, and a great light shall come forth. And the Mountains of Valinor shall be levelled, so that the Light shall go out over all the world. In that light the Gods will grow young again, and the Elves awake and all their dead arise, and the purpose of Ilúvatar be fulfilled concerning them. But of Men in that day the prophecy of Mandos doth not speak, and no Man it names, save Turin only, and to him a place is given among the sons of the Valar.”

The Full Prophecy of Namo of Mandos.
Yet much of the prophecy is hid from the Children of Ilúvatar, for much of what is prophesized is on lore and lands unknown to them. The full prophecy to the Valar and Quorin was given by Mandos to each in entirety, and to the Flammifer of Westernesse.
Cabed Naëramarth.

The Lay of Tanyasalpë

For the benighted children of Húrin
shall Faskala-númen be brought forth
to expiate their sinless wrong
by the order of Yavanna Fructifer.

Two corpses will be summoned forth
from Haunted Cabed Naëramarth,
flung into the flame of Yavanna.
so shall their spirits be purified. Contrite,
alive, untouched, by sin.

The bowl of Tanyasalpë shall
be raised on high to form
a mighty cauldron in the mountains
ever making white steam in the sky.

Quorin shall earnestly quest,
The people of Tol Úpahtëa shall stealthily seek
the lightstones of legend lost
in earth and sea long ago.
Not wishing to grasp them for greed
but to fulfil their hidden fate.

The Two shall be twinned together,
and be set in the halls of the Temple of Melkor
in Tol Úpahtëa, seen only
by Yavanna and Nienna.

When the world is old and the Powers grow weary,
shall Eärendil descend upon Tol Úpahtëa
his brow bearing Gil-Estel,
the grandest of gems of the Silmaril
And place the gift in the Temple of Melkor.

Then will the Quorin set forth
sailing, as one, from their sacred isle.
The three ships bearing
The Three Doomsayers,
Yavanna, Nienna, Caladan,
bearing the blazing upon their brows.

Valinor shall see as one that day
The Sun arising across the water
A brightness not seen since the beginning.

The Valar shall empty Valinor to join the Host
Of the mighty and terrible Orvlan
Led by the three striders,
Brows blazing in glory
To the Door of Night.

It will burst open at the Coming of Caladan
and the greatest host ere assembled
will seize in sudden fury
Morgoth the Malice of the World
weakened by their wrath.

To his doom at Tanyasalpë they shall drag him
aloft atop the high mountain
swathed in the sweet and purifying steam.
Yavanna and Nienna shall give from their brows
the High Silmarils to Caladan.

Caladan will grasp these gems in his mighty hand,
And plunge them into the steaming water
and with a great cry, crush them
and release the light of the Trees
into the healing waters.

In all of the lands, the Children
Shall be lost in the flood of the living light.
“Stand for the Doom of the World!”
And will weep in fear.

Then the Three Guardians who
had borne the Silmarils
to the Mountain of Tanyasalpë
shall drag Morgoth the Monster
into the radiant waters
and thrust him under.

The blazing light in the world
shining from the Mountain of Tanyasalpë
will explode anew into searing brilliance.
All living things will flame forth
with the purest light, like
the Two Trees had done in their time.

Morgoth the Malicious,
the Demon of Darkness shall begin
to strangle on the light and choke.
The grasp of the Guardians shall be merciless.

Drowning in the icy radiance he will struggle in the Faskala-númenBut mercy shall not come to Morgoth that day.
At the end of titanic grappling
Comes silence.

And the cursed armor of Morgoth
and his crippled body
shall dissolve in the grasp
of the Guardians
And the light of Tanyasalpë will fail
And Arda, lit only by stars,even Telperion's Flower extinguished.

The whole host shall lie still as though dead
exhausted by the end of Morgoth.
But upon the surface of the water moved
The faintest wisp of spirit.

Chapter End Notes

Initially tried to construct as proper verse; then the meter and foot failed. Will try to rewrite the structure. The narrative looks OK.
