Blessed are the Leave-takers by Isilme_among_the_stars
Fanwork Notes
Arambo means "high/noble hill" in Quenya and is a little nod to the name Brian, which is said to mean "high", "noble" or "exalted" and is thought to be derived from an old Celtic word meaning "high" or "hill".
This plays on Fëanor's speech to the Noldor, urging them to leave Valinor from "Of the Flight of the Noldor" in The Silmarillion. The misheard lines are of course:
- ...ever he urged the Noldor to follow him and by their own prowess to win freedom and great realms in the lands of the East...
- Say farewell to bondage!
- Say farewell to your treasures!

Summary:
As prince Curufinwë Fëanáro makes an historical speech from the high court of the King upon Túna, those at the back of the crowd strain to hear.
A silly little scene inspired by Monty Python's "Blessed are the Cheesemakers" scene from The Life of Brian, written for SWG's Everyman Challenge April 2026, using the prompt:
"A great multitude gathered swiftly, therefore, to hear what he would say; and the hill and all the stairs and streets that climbed upon it were lit with the light of many torches that each one bore in hand." ("Of the Flight of the Noldor")Major Characters: Original Character(s)
