A Trail of Things Lost by Nitheliniel

Fanwork Notes

For pelinel.

Note 1: This story is the result of a collaboration with pelinel (pelinel.tumblr.com) in the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2018 and her art prompt “Galadriel crossing the Helcaraxë”. Thank you for the wonderful prompt which allowed for so much creative space.

Note 2: Thanks to the wonderful people in my local circle of the Tolkien Society for letting me air my thoughts and ideas and for commenting and beta-reading!

Note 3: Character names are all in Quenya since the host of the Noldor has not yet reached Beleriand and been subjected to the indigenous Sindarin.
