That is rather terrifying, the thought of these dotted around the landscape, but the reality encoded is even more terrifying, of course.

I suppose this is a discovery Celegorm makes early on after his arrival in Middle-earth?

I loved this little story. The starting sentence is very strong, it pulls you into the sense of curiosity and wonder. The markings left by others to identify things, with little bones, both ominous and somehow melancholic, full of grief. Little memorials of bones. It suggests a wider world, a sense of things that came before. Really enjoyable.

Thank you so much! It was kind of creepy to write, since it was one of those pieces that doesn't give you all the information up front, only as you write it, so I only knew a little more than Celegorm for most of it.
