Pallando & Alatar: never have I ever... by Anérea

Prodigal Wizard

Prompted by Grundy: never did Alatar ever... return to Aman?

He knew he hadn’t always done his best. His best would have been to resist taking on the position of power the Men of the East had foisted upon him. He could have continued to influence them in a humbler role as Pallando had. But the allure of their adulation had been too enticing. However, that was of no consequence now. In the end, his life and death had served the greater purpose, just as Eru once had said. As Alatar’s spirit sped towards Valinor and the Máhanaxar, he welcomed the rest that would come, regardless of the Valar’s judgement.
