On the Edge of Ruin, Part I by

Fanwork Notes

This story has been knocking around my hard-drive and notebooks for years, and I figured I should probably start posting some of it.  It's nowhere near a state of completion, and I haven't worked on it recently, but luckily...the fragments of it might be enjoyable on their own. 

If all goes as planned, the subtitle will be "The Silmarillion Retold."  It is thus, understandably, a fairly ambitious project!  

 Do not expect updates.

A Bitter Truth

This portion of my sprawling epic (hah!) was first posted in Sept. 2008 in the very first "A Long Expected Contest."  I always intended it to be the opening chapter, so I might as well add it here now, with the possibility of adding future chapters later.

Now that they know the history, Elrond and Elros decide to fight orcs under Maglor's Fëanorian banner. That Maedhros and Maglor release them before going for the Silmarils at the end of the War of Wrath is therefore a significant statement of intention.
