Farther down the French coast, a shipwright rose among the ashes of his domain, star-forged spear in hand, swan-helm set with pearls and silver mantle woven on the looms of Melian in Doriath of old. Before him an ancient dragon landed heavy among the wood-ash and twisted steel, clad all in golden scales and wings wrought of dark Shadow. Starlight filtered through the fog of Shadow, bathing the white sand in faint light just as it had Ages ago at Lake Cuivienen.

Cirdan's first appearance in the Maglorath, featuring a demonstration of appropriate eye protection when battling a certain hypnotic dragon.

#silm #silmarillion #maglorath #seventh age stuff #writing #cirdan #ship king with sunglasses lol #he's in france bc the grey havens got turned into somewhere on the french coast btw #also his belt was originally made by enel (my hc for his father) at cuivienen #he has since ship of theseused it into staying intact all the way to the seventh age #depending on how you interpret it that belt is older than all of human civilization #also i decided he has a spear becasue there is a notable lack of legendarium spear wielders #and it would make sense that he and the other cuivienen elves would fight more with axes/bows/polearms #basically simple weapons or tools that can be repurposed as weapons to defend themselves against predators and stray orcs
