Author's note: Series of short vignettes picturing some scenes that never made it into the books. Mostly First Age, though some SA and TA episodes may simply pop up...

Disclaimer: Surely they're all Tolkien's

AT THE MERETH ADERTHAD

The Shipwright bowed low: "I am most pleased to meet you, Finwion,º for you so much resemble your noble father, to whom I said goodbye long ago under the stars, by the fair shores of Belegaer! "

The tall elf returned the bow, looking somehow embarrassed: "I appreciate your words, Lord Cirdan, but I am Findekáno, son of Nolofinwë. I was sent to escort you before my father, "he offered, his voice surprisingly pleasant. "Welcome to the Mereth Aderthad," he added solemnly.

After Thingol´s ban on Quenya, Cirdan´s mistake became rule, to Maedhros´ endless amusement and his brothers´ unrelenting anger.
