Yes he was. Ai, dwarves killed him. The lust for the silmarils over took them and mishap came about and they killed him and after that I left for Valinor. If you are able to that would be quite lovely. Ai, yes. Your wife has a kind heart. I can see that and is forgiving. You two shall be happy once again. A bit of advice for your son, tread easily, as you said his wounds are still fresh and those take time to heal.
Dwarves? My Queen, forgive me, but this news is very difficult to take. I cannot believe they, whom I called my dearest friends, would do such thing. But always you speak the truth, and I must come to term with this. It was lust, you say? Ai, the Silmarils were a wretched thing to bring into our lands. They were a curse!
I thank thee for your blessing of the love of Aredhel and I. I will heed to your words about Maeglin. I love and am skilled but I am also a fool, my Queen. It gladdens me that Aredhel forgave me when I cannot find it within me to forgive myself.
