There were many ways to communicate a message in Beleriand. They were heralded by eagles, written in the stars, sung with a harp. But often they were written in letters. Love notes, diplomatic missives, scouting reports, etc. Various characters and dates.

3. Glorfindel to Ecthelion

To Ecthelion, Lord of the Fountain, Captain of the Prince's Guard,

Greetings.

My intrepid messenger shall give Lord Turgon the official, dry, report, but I wanted to give you the unofficial version.

Prince Turgon had been received good information from (censored). We followed the (censored) River into the (censored) Mountains for many leagues.

I was awestruck when we reached the top of (censored). I defy any tactition to fantasize a more perfect naturally defensible position. For me however, the military potential is not the best aspect of (censored).

The view here is breathtaking. This (censored) reminds me of my home in Taniquetl. But its unexplored newness makes the air crisp with excitement.

No doubt the Prince will wish to see claim his (censored), where he intends to build his (censored). No doubt you will accompany him, and so I bid you farewell for now.

Have a safe journey, my friend.

Glorfindel, Lord of the House of Golden Flower, which is by far more intelligent valiant, and handsome than the House of the Fountain

This letter was written when Turgon was searching for a place to build Gondolin. Ulmo told him to look in the mountains.

The letter was censored in case it fell into the wrong hands.
