A! Elbereth Gilthoniel! Silivren penna miriel O menal aglar elenath, Gilthoniel, A! Elbereth! We still remember, we who dwell In this far land beneath the trees Thy starlight on the Western Seas.

Y'know, i think the clans would've empathised with the noldor, before the invasion. A homeland far away, that they cannot yet return to, leaving them to sing and dream of its shores.

also makes me wonder whether tolkien's works survived that far, and if records of them joined the clans in their exodus (or survived the fires of succession). how much of our literature remains to them, 500, 1000 years from now?

(probably quite a bit, we're not exactly working on warhammer 40k timescales here)

#battletech #mechwarrior #theres a fair share of contrast too #where the exodus fleet left to avoid war the noldor left to wage it #the noldor committed their kinslaying before they left valinor's shores #while the exodus turned on each other afterwards #and i think most literature probably did survive the years #i think aleksander kerensky would have keenly felt the pain of frodo - now no longer able to forget war even amongst the most tranquil peac #especially towards the end of his life
