back to middle-earth month 3/23/26 | 2017: the silmarillion (redux) | companionship @cnc-week day eight | relationships | celegorm & huan

Now the chief of the wolf hounds that followed Celegorm was named Huan. He was not born in Middle-earth, but came from the Blessed Realm; for Oromë had given him to Celegorm long ago in Valinor, and there he had followed the horn of his master, before evil came. Huan followed Celegorm into exile, and was faithful; and thus he too came under the doom of woe set upon the Noldor, and it was decreed that he should meet death, but not until he encountered the mightiest wolf that would ever walk the world.

Curufin faces an unexpected betrayal.

For Back to Middle-earth Month 2026, Day 19! Today's prompt is from 2018's Music of the Waters event. On March 19 they gave a list of musical terms, of which I randomly selected subito. I combined that with the @cnc-week prompts Curufin and Betrayal to write about Curufin and his wife's last argument.

back to middle-earth month 3/18/26 | 2019: music of the waters | seagulls at sunset | the falathrim

When many years had passed, Ulmo hearkened to the prayers of the Noldor and of Finwë their king, who grieved at their long sundering from the Teleri, and besought him to bring them to Aman, if they would come. And most of them proved now willing indeed; but great was the grief of Ossë when Ulmo returned to the coasts of Beleriand, to bear them away to Valinor; for his care was for the seas of Middle-earth and the shores of the Hither Lands, and he was ill-pleased that the voices of the Teleri should be heard no more in his domain. Some he persuaded to remain; and those were the Falathrim, the Elves of the Falas, who in after days had dwellings at the havens of Brithombar and Eglarest, the first mariners in Middle-earth and the first makers of ships. Círdan the Shipwright was their lord.
