Tolkien Meta Week Starts December 8!
Join us December 8-14, here and on Tumblr, as we share our thoughts, musings, rants, and headcanons about all aspects of Tolkien's world.
After the War of Wrath, what was originally planned as a temporary stay (a kind of moral quarantine) on Tol Eressea turns into a permanent settlement. And so we also get another chapter in the history of the White Tree(s).
For the Tengwar prompt challenge.
All 36 prompts plus bonus chapter
Tirion's masked ball offers decadent delights, mistaken identities, insatiable yearnings, and inescapable philanderings.
Edhellos has escaped, with a handful of others, from the battle in which her husband Angrod died. She has a request to make.

Loving mortals will end in death. Angrod knows this.
Despite her physical disability, a woman crosses Beleriand to assist a fellow victim. She has help on the way.

Eldalótë, the wife of Angrod, is mentioned only in History of Middle-earth texts and not once in the published Silmarillion. This biography reviews what is known of this elusive character, including what linguistic clues can tell us about whether she accompanied her husband to Middle-earth.
