Tolkien quote of the day:

But the view of the myth is that Death – the mere shortness of human life-span – is not a punishment for the Fall, but a biologically (and therefore also spiritually, since body and spirit are integrated) inherent part of Man’s nature. The attempt to escape it is wicked because ‘unnatural’, and silly because Death in that sense is the Gift of God (envied by the Elves), release from the weariness of Time. Death, in the penal sense is viewed as a change in attitude to it: fear, reluctance. A good Númenorian died of free will when he felt it to be time to do so.

Letter 156, The Letters of JRR Tolkien

bullet *REDONE* Creation Song of Ilúvatar by Fadesintothewest Last Updated: 11/30/2013
Story of the Royal Family of Mirkwood and a young woman who appears mysteriously and has a great vantage point from which to observe both the light and dark moments of life in Mirkwood. Explores Silvan/Avari culture. In my mind and in this story the wood elves are what outsiders would describe as feral, but also joyful despite the great losses they endure, a glimpse of what we see in The Hobbit. *Story has been edited and reworked! Will post reworked chapters weekly to biweekly!*
