Summary
“Dulin stayed at his father’s right hand until he grew tired of the monotony and left to make a name for himself apart from Durin the Deathless,” Mhete says, confident and matter-of-fact as she tends to be. “He died on the road before he could.”
Scholar Nerar frowns. “Mhorbokul,” she says, “where did you get this idea?”
“The library, Scholar,” Mhete says after a moment of pause. “You told us to read anything we wanted pertaining to Durin I.”
“Please give me the names of the librarian and the book they gave you when you finish for today, then. Dulin died at his father’s side.”
Mhete nods, pressing her lips together like a vice to prevent herself from saying something more, and settles back into her seat to listen. Scholar Nerar turns back to the board, beginning to explain the beginning of Queen Dis’ reign as the second leader of Durin’s Folk, and Mhete’s charcoal continues its even rhythm against her slate.
There was no book, in truth, nor a librarian that led her to this knowledge. There was no place she found the knowledge, for she simply knew.
Mhete would rather not consider the ramifications of it too hard.

Summary
“I am dead, then.”
“You are.”
Kelben sits up, crossing their legs beneath them and shivering at the cool stone below their buttocks and against their ankles. The air around them is warm but the floor is not, and the difference feels strange. They are used to warm air and warm stone, or cold air and cold stone, and the difference between air and ground suggests a recent fire.
“Are you making something?” Kelben asks the shapeless voice, and the deep voice they cannot see chuckles as if it holds an avalanche within.
“I just did,” their Maker says, vast and amused. “I made you.”
OR
Mahal may breathe life into their children, but they choose their own songs as they walk Arda. By the time they die, they may not wish for the body he gave them, wrought with care on his great anvil.
Mahal very quickly grows used to reforging their children's bodies twice when they enter his Halls.

Summary
Tales tell that Carnistir, Son of Fëanor, was slain during the Second Kinslaying, as he and his brothers attacked Doriath. Tales, however, cannot account for the unknown, and there are truths lost to history.
As it's said among Durin's Folk, only three things in this world are certain: Death, Dwarven Hospitality, and the Tax Elf. This is the story of how Carnistir of the Noldor lived to become a lord under the mountain. It is also a story of time, mathematics, and love.

Summary
"Galadriel was the greatest of the Noldor, except Fëanor maybe, though she was wiser than he, and her wisdom increased with the long years. Her mother-name was Nerwen ("man-maiden"), and she grew to be tall beyond the measure even of the women of the Noldor; she was strong of body, mind, and will, a match for both the loremasters and the athletes of the Eldar in the days of their youth. Even among the Eldar she was accounted beautiful, and her hair was held a marvel unmatched." - Unfinished Tales, The History of Galadriel and Celeborn
This is the story of Artanis Nerwen, later known as Galadriel. The story of how she left, and how she came back, and all that happened in between.
(Nolde - a female Noldo.)

Summary
Durin is older than many beings in Arda, and the trauma of fighting the endless wars against the darkness and of always losing his friends and family, no matter how much he fights, have taken their toll.
A story told through the childhoods of the Durins and the memories of loss, pain, betrayal, and despair.
