« Men were more frail, more easily killed by weapons or by accident, and less able to heal; prone to illness and ailments; and they grew old and died. What happened to their spirits after death is unknown to the Elves. Some say that they also go to the Halls of Mandos; but that their waiting place there is not that of the Elves; and that only Mandos apart from Iluvatar, and from there Manwë, knows where they go after their period of contemplation in these silent halls by the Western Sea. They are not reborn on earth, and no one has ever returned from hell, except Beren son of Barahir, whose hand had seized a Silmaril; but he never again addressed mortal Men. The fate of Men beyond death perhaps does not rest in the hands of the Valar; and not everything has been revealed in the Music of the Ainur. »

there are many reasons I like the "Erestor son of Caranthir" headcanon but secretly the main one is that I'm imagining all of the remaining noldo auditors sighing of relief when Caranthir dies and they don't have to try play 4d chess with multiverse time travel trying to catch this guy doing tax evasion. life is good for exilic auditors now.

and then suddenly Elrond and Elros turn up again! even better! oh who's this, Elrond? your good friend Erestor? he's helping you with your taxes? oh how swe- what is this Elrond. What is this. your paperwork for your taxes you say. not a declaration of war? because it looks like a declaration of war on the exilic auditors, Elrond.

and then all the auditors are so busy doing "extreme tax auditing™" for the first time since the second Kinslaying that they don't tell anyone they're pretty sure there's another scion of the house of Fëanor running around.

My favorite Morgoth moment is when the Great Enemy of Middle Earth got attacked by a big spider and shrieked so loudly all his balrogs heard from miles away and had to come rescue him. Damsel behavior
