This was great! I'd never really given much thought to what happened to Nan Elmoth after Eol was killed...

This was an interesting take. I really like the way you write Aredhel! She's very fierce, but also practical and a touch manipulative. The way you describe other characters is great as well. For instance, I thought this was a great line:

"Laurefindë he gives her because few can stand against him in arms, and because Laurë is, in the end, more dangerous as a pawn in others’ schemes than he is in himself, for in himself, he is too honest for conspiracy even if he is bold enough to joust with a king."

It conveys a lot of information about the character using only a few words, and is also just a really interesting way to describe someone, haha.

Great story!
