Part 20: Far Have You Roamed

Balan felt a twinge in his chest as he looked out over them, first of pride in his son’s work, and then of loss—that this land which held his early love for Nóm had been changed now beyond return.

Bëor and Gildor travel to Estolad while Finrod is occupied in Doriath. The two discuss their similar griefs and Bëor must face seeing his people - and his eldest son - for the first time since passing down the clan's leadership.
