OC-tober 2024 with my cadre of LOTRO OCs!

Notes:

Saedhruin - my High Elf rune-keeper, who was a follower of the sons of Fëanor up until Finrod's death, after which he followed Celebrimbor until the fall of Eregion. This is while he's living in the Havens of Sirion.

Chapter 1: Voyage - Saedhruin

Chapter Text

The isle of Balar was not far off the coast, but there was a brief spell in the middle (about half an hour if the wind wasn’t with them) where you had to squint to make out land to the east and west. The wind was rarely with them when Saedhruin was aboard.

Sometimes in the middle he imagined storms coming up out of the west, building walls of waves before them and lashing their sides in righteous fury. He’d always been up on the deck with the other rune-keepers when the storms got worse, that first and last voyage. Calling what small breaths of wind would obey them to stir the sails.

Then the spell would pass and he would see the cloudless sunshine and the laughing crew singing praises to Ossë for the fine day. He’d always love the Sea; some days he wondered if it would ever forgive them.
