    Summary

    There were a pair of twins, an elf-maid and her brother. Orcs caught their mother while she was carrying them, and they took her to the mines; so the twins were born in the dark, and in the dark they remained. But their mother told them tales of the sky all bright with stars, and those tales found place in their hearts and rooted there, and grew.

    -

    A folktale from the mines of Angband. What can freedom cost, and what does freedom mean?

    Summary

    "But of those unhappy ones who were ensnared by Melkor little is known of a certainty. For who of the living has descended into the pits of Utumno, or has explored the darkness of the counsels of Melkor? Yet this is held true of the wise, that all those of the Quendi who came into the hands of Melkor, ere Utumno was broken, were put there in prison, and by slow arts of cruelty were corrupted and enslaved."

    Summary

    This is what happens to a man who is dead: Those left alive cut his body open, to see what was wrong inside him. In secret, he is pulled apart. They mourn him, and they bind him, and they bury him, deep beneath the earth. Maedhros has seen that once before, the total black of the grave, wet and stifling and cold. That is where they lowered Grandfather Finwe’s body, after he was dead.

    Maedhros is dead too, but all out of order.

    Summary

    Maedhros never knew the Halls of Mandos could be so similar to Angband. His mind is broken and he is alone, until one day a shaft of light breaks the darkness of his torturous mirages; the door swings open.
    Part two.

    Summary

    “Maeglin was no weakling or craven, but the torment wherewith he was threatened cowed his spirit, and he purchased his life and freedom by revealing to Morgoth the very place of Gondolin and the ways whereby it might be found and assailed.”

    Maeglin is tortured in Angband. He breaks.

    Summary

    Now that the world was made, shaped, and refined into something solid and beautiful upon which the tallest of trees grew and the mountains loomed majestic over the valleys, cliffs, and waterfalls below—all things which he had helped cut and carve with his own hands—there was no more need for those hands to help shape the world, and so he had traded the valleys, the mountains, the cliffs, and the hills for a smaller workspace known as a forge, where he worked with metal, ore, and stone. It was a big change for Mairon—to have been granted such grandness, and then reduced to a workshop smith.

    Inside, he had long been bitter for it. Overlooked. Brought down low.

    It had been the start, the very beginnings, of a thirst in him.

    .

    From Almaren, to Utumno, to Angband, to Tol-in-Gaurhoth.

    All of his life, Mairon has been running.

    Summary

    A little check-up on the northern lands before our heroes start to tackle the orc Fëa problem in earnest. Nothing of course goes as planned, but when does it? They do find out more about Oropher's father, though (that guy seriously needs a name).

    I probably should write a little appendix on who are the original characters, what are the non-canonical rhings caonical characters are doing and where are all those non-canonical places I keep mentioning.
