    Summary

    As the shadow of Sauron lengthens at the twilight of the Second Age, the Elven realms forge alliances in the oldest way: through marriage. Círdan the Shipwright pledges his children to secure the future - his daughter Meríliel (main OC) to the legendary Glorfindel, and his son to Thranduil's line. But duty cannot command the heart. Meríliel finds herself drawn to Prince Legolas, and their choices will echo through centuries, haunted by pride, loyalty and tragedy.

    This tale of forbidden love, political intrigue, and redemption is woven into Tolkien's canon and Jackson’s movies while expanding cultural and linguistic aspects. Grounded in Tolkien's works with original lore to bridge events, the story explores the very same milestones sung about in the Third Age, the ones we only get a glimpse of in the movies.

    Characters mature, change, and their arcs develop within an infuriating slow burn that tests their love and loyalty, as well as customs and traditions; this isn't just about memories shaping attitudes, but about WHAT actually happened, and WHEN.

    👉 Current update: The War of the Last Alliance was INSANE; we've just started with the Third Age, it’s filled with elflings and Legolas sports tattoos. 😮‍💨🤭
