About Me
Actively started participating and writing for the Silmarillion fandom in 2013 (though been lurking for over a decade - I remember when this site first started and how excited I was to find an archive focused on the First Age).
Most of my stories have been grouped into series; in general they tend to be about the Vanyar, Falmari and Sindar, and the Edain or the Easterlings. Aside from my writings, my blog also hosts the large collection of heraldric devices from or inspired by Tolkien and some meta, head-canon posts, and some art. Most of my stories are cross-posted here and at AO3, though the rough drafts and progress updates can be found on the tumblr.

Service to the Dead by heget
“But why are you here, M’lord? And not in thine Halls or reborn o’er the seas?” Gorlim asked.
“There is no peace for me there,” answered the armored phantom. “I vowed never to be reborn, and spoke this oath before the Doomsman. He accepted, loathe though he was at my resolve. I am not my cousins, to ever rest from this war against the Great Foe. So he sends me thither, to fight Morgoth once more, in the manner of the servants of Mandos.”
