After ten thousand years in the Halls of Mandos, Feanor and Fingolfin are reembodied into a Valinor that looks the same, but is now wholly different from the world they left behind—and they too, have been irreversibly changed. But the methods used by Mandos to heal them have had the opposite effect, and Fingolfin, the warrior of the Elder Days, grows restless, melancholic, and soon depressed in the land of milk and honey. The solution to his ills? Another unwinnable war with Feanor and a new, sordid sexual affair culminating in violence. 

An exploration of the complexities (and horrors) of reembodiment, how the reembodied elf relates to his new body and the world around him, how the corrective arts of Mandos may psychologically harm those subjected to them, and the consequences of trapping a hardened soldier in Paradise.

Children who return from the Halls of Mandos without their parents need familes in Valinor to care for them.

Ingwion's sister Indis, who learned many things from her years with the Noldor, is building skyscrapers and telescopes and waiting for news of her own children.

 Last night, the King’s Men put to death a large group of dangerous radicals in the Artists’ Quarter of Armenelos.  Caught only a few hours before their planned assassination attempt on Tar-Míriel, they forced our heroic enforcers to battle for their very lives.  Unfortunately, the splinter group of Faithful fanatics were unwilling to surrender peacefully.  A large number of weapons, including incendiary devices, were recovered from the basement of the house in which they had been planning their cowardly and devious attack. Although all of the royal guard survived, one of their number was carried to the local hospital with severe injuries; he is expected to recover.  
    Citizens are asked to report any unusual activity to the King’s Men. Now, more than ever, Númenor must stand together against those who would destroy her.

The king's natural philosophers are an elite group of men of science in Armenelos. When one of them is discovered to be (apparently) a woman in disguise, he is expelled from their ranks. Unfortunately, his youth and beauty draw the interest of the king, and there is no one with the power to protect him, not even the High Priest himself, although to the philosopher's surprise, Tar-Mairon tries...

Nimruzimir, a natural philosopher recently out of his apprenticeship, hardly considers himself very important to anyone, least of all his colleagues.  When his strange, prophetic fits bring him to the attention of the High Priest, however, he may find that his existence is less superfluous than he had originally thought.

After the Nírnaeth Arnoediad, Celegorm and Curufin occasionally range far from Amon Ereb in an attempt to stem the tide of Morgoth's armies into Beleriand somewhat. This kind of idleness does not become the Oath once the Silmaril has appeared in Doriath again; Celegorm only needs a willing ear.
