FIVE FINWIONS MEET IN THE HIGHLANDS OF DORTHONION, WINTER, FIRST AGE 455, TO SETTLE A YEARLY CONTEST.º

"I broke into the King's cellars, surely it counts as an offence?"

"Only if Uncle got to know, Fingon"

"Oh!"

"So, Orodreth?"

"Yet unable to produce an heir, I fear"

"Angrod?"

"Greeted Cirdan's ambassador in Quenya…"

"Oh, brother! Aegnor?"

A sad gaze meets a compassionate one:

"I lost my bow. In a wager. Against an elleth"

"Shameful!"

"Piteous!"

"Pathetic!"

"Winsome!"

"Says who? It's been years since you last did something truly embarrassing, Finrod!"

"Well, having us all expelled from Doriath gave me quite a lead, I think…"

"You win, Aegnor, you bring the wine! Same place, next year!"

ºIn winter FA 455, the first assault of the Dagor Bragollach swept away Ard-Galen and part of Dorthonion. Angrod and Aegnor died then. (Silm, Chp 18)
