Guileless Son by Kaylee Arafinwiel
Fanwork Notes
In mine and AfricanDaisy’s ‘verse, Carphadril is a queen of the Evair (Avari) who settled in far northern Greenwood. Two of her daughters married ellyn who became high nobles of Doriath, forsaking her to continue the Great Journey westward, and she desires the fall of all Doriathrin nobility due to their treachery.
In our main ficverse, though, she doesn't start quite this early to take out her revenge on the Iathrim. But the plotbunny I was given bit, and so...
It is prophesied that only treachery from within will cause Doriath to fall. (“Sketch of the Mythology”)
Also, it is National Poetry Month and I am including the B2MEM 2023 prompt "Haiku".
