Manwë had given
each
a choice.
Elrond chose immortality
He was to be, among the
Eldar,
a voice
On the Council and
accounted
mighty.
Elros chose mortality.
"I long," he said,
"Of the Edain to be."
Thus the brothers' fates
were sundered.
The Valar then made a
new
land
To be home to the Edain.
Beyond the sight of Ennor
– an island
And placed a restlessness
in the Edain.
Varda Elentari placed a
new
star in the sky
To guide the Edain from
Middle-Earth.
The Edain saw it and were
glad, but knew not why,
'Til Oromë told them
to follow it from Ennorath.
They built ships and
set
sail
westwards.
Far from sight of land,
but
always west.
Soon the Edain sent small
boats landward.
Now approached the ending
of their quest.
"Our travels now are
ended,"
Elros said.
"As the Valar's chosen
king,
I claim the title Tarminyatur.
We shall not forget the
brothers
from whom we've been sundered.
And I now name this land
of fountains and forests Elenna, the Land of the Star."
