Summary:
Maglor gets a life that isn’t being alone on a beach forever. Elrond gets a hug. Well, several hugs. Celebrian gets to look after Elrond for a change, Elwing and Earendil get their son back, Bilbo gets to hear the Elf-songs in full, Sam gets to see Elf-magic, Nerdanel thinks her husband is an idiot but at least he is good-looking...
And the House of Fëanor returns from the Halls of Mandos. There is a lot of loyalty and cheering, some politics, a lot of horses and jewellery, and quite a bit of arguing, wine and cake.
