Artíre is induced by Sauron to choose between serving the forces of light and the forces of darkness, when he would rather be neutral.
The host of the Valar who marched to Middle-Erth to vanquish Morgoth were wreathed in valorous splendor. But what were they like before they set foot on the Hitherlands? A short piece; Thanksgiving present for Ellfine, Fiondil and KiMahalei.
This series will include small thinglets that do not fit in my other series.
