    Summary

    "Why Russandol, though?" Fingon said. It was just Coppertop, which was accurate—Maedhros was very redheaded—but not exactly exciting, or adventurous, or romantic.

    "Or, I mean, Russo, if you like," said Maedhros, which was worse, because that was just calling him Red. You might as well say Ginger. Extremely unromantic.

    Summary

    One unexpected elf was an anomaly, two were a coincidence, and three were . . . well, not enemy action. Probably. But if Haleth didn't get some answers soon, she was going to start considering it.

    Summary

    This is a great honor, Essek reminds himself, trying not to recoil as fingers run through his hair, working through the tangles. A braid is made of three strands, symbolizing the inextricable bond between the soul, the den, and the Luxon. A recognition of an achievement by the drow who bears it. With each braid, the soul is bound ever closer to its den and to the Luxon.

    It is a lesson Essek learned long ago, but one he is never permitted to forget.

    [Or: the story of why the Shadowhand wears his hair cropped short.]
