The Havens of Sirion, First Age 515

"Melin, see what Sirion has brought! I found it lodged in a clump of reeds." Enerdhil watched as Meleth put her basket on the table, parted the bundles of rushes and lifted out something with her two hands. He recognized the beaker she held as Tirion work, its raised and inlaid metalwork depicting Noldorin dancers on the Plain of Valmar. Deep claw marks furrowed the brim, just where the Two Trees stood.

"I can re-work that," he said. "The Trees are destroyed, but I shall show our kin dancing again, just as we in the Havens do: under the Sun."

Chapter End Notes

The beaker in question originally belonged to Fuilin of Nargothrond and is described in The Lay of the Children of Húrin.
