Summary
Finrod and Fingolfin, an Age after their deaths, look back on their assorted triumphs and tragedies, compare cairn locations, mourn the kingdoms of Men they raised up in Beleriand, and conspire around a novelty cake.

“I came to terms with my own betrayal a while ago,” said Finrod. “If you’re correct, it was only the minor refrain of a long-running and very disappointing theme.”
“I don’t mean to open old wounds,” said Ñolofinwë. “Although I suppose we’ve been doing little else since I sat down in this chair. It’s a very comfortable chair, at least.”

Summary
In the wake of the Quenya ban, a diplomatic mission to Doriath is arranged under cloak of secrecy. Two kings in Beleriand, one new and one old, have a volatile encounter.

Thingol, shocked, drew in a sudden breath through tight-clenched teeth. “He is the very image of Finwë!”
“I warned you of that earlier,” said Galadriel quietly, her smile returning. “The resemblance never failed to madden Fëanor, by the way.”
Sympathy for mad, dead Fëanor was not what he expected to feel today, but he felt it nonetheless. A beloved memory from a life long before the sun now rode into his kingdom under plain daylight. His mind whirled. He could not reconcile it.

Summary
“Men of Dor-Lómin!” he called out. “Huor! Where are you, brother? Be at ease. We held the pass long enough!”
There was no answer, so he kept walking. A little disappointment stirred inside his heart (that was only really the thought of a heart), but before it could swell to greater grief, the enchantment of the halls hushed it down again.
Húrin, a voice called back. It was not his brother’s voice. I would speak with you.
