Gil-galad (Ereinion) and Cirdan, just after Fingon sent his son to the Havens for safety. Cirdan is trying to make the boy welcome, but the circumstances are weighing on both.
(Fingon has not died yet, though.)
Early on in Balin's attempt to reclaim Moria, nothing has yet gone wrong. Ori, left to himself for a bit, reflects.
Not much is known about Dior, the ninth Ruling Steward of Gondor, except that he died without children.
A bit of faux academia, with apologies to Dior, although I maintain plausible deniability.
Note: Faux academia implies possible bias, of course!
Some time after the events of "The Hobbit", two surviving members of Thorin's Company are spending an evening in Laketown.
Warning for grief / mourning.
