Re: My take on the fate of Maglor

Tolkien and Inklings Discussion

: Not bad. Not bad indeed, you have a very good imagination.

: But my story is unfortunately not that interesting. : I wandered along the shores and forests of Middle Earth. : I have seen many seas and many mountains on my path, but the kingdoms of men you speak of do not exist. Men in the east of Middle Earth live in small tribal communities, each in war with his neighbour, quarreling over every tree and every lake. Their stories are not worth telling. I have been in the south, no man lives there only in deserts of immessurable size. I have never crossed the sea but once, my only adventure worth telling. : One day, when I was walking on a beach in Edenwaith, Ulmo came out of the deep waters to see me. At first I turned away, because I don't want anything to do with the Valar, but Ulmo sounded his great horn Ulumuri and suddenly a great longing for the blessed realm arose in me. I begged him to take me there, but he told me that he had not the power to do that. I then asked him to slay me so I at least could meet some of my own kin. Ulmo then said that he had another option for me. There is a small elven settlement on Tol Morwen, now the only remaint of great Beleriand of old The last followers of the sons of Feanor live there because they were not welcome in any other elven realm. There I live now. still singing, still longing for Valinor, but I now live with people with the same fate as myself. : And lately one of Curufins close friends invented this machine in witch I discovered this board.

: Maglor

I met an old elf called Daeron the other night, he was looking for you, now I can tell him where to find you, he mentioned something about having 'much to disucss' and 'singing like he did when the world was young'. Anyway, I'll tell him where you are and you can have a chat, tell him if I need any more help with those damned windmills I'll be in touch Don Q P.S Word on the Valar is they are wavering on the old exile front, something to do with this world being no place for a noble elf, they might even apologise. I'll have a word mate..
