Prologue

Feanor returned to Middle-Earth because he and those that followed him desired power. Once they learned of Thingol and Melian's kingdom they wished to rule it. They attacked and killed Thingol while he was hunting and away from the protection of Melian's girdle. Melian was overcome by grief and left Middle-Earth for Valinor. The Sindar then declared war on the Noldor for the death of Thingol, and ever since then Noldor and Sindar have fought, until the Noldor were victorious.



If you've never read the Silmarillion that will make no sense to you whatsoever. Just accept that the Noldor and Sindar have been fighting for a very, very long time. On the side of the Sindar elves are the Silvan elves. In the actual fic I refer to them as wood-elves. (Sindar and Silvan). The Noldor are allied with the dwarves, and to a small part men.

Gimli is son of Gloin, who is Lord of the Lonely Mountain, and very closely allied with the Noldor. Gimli doesn't like this, and thinks that the dwarves should never have gotten involved.

Leaders of the wood-elves were Celeborn and Oropher. Oropher never died (the ring, and therefore Last Alliance never existed). Celeborn never married Galadriel, because they've always been enemies. Thranduil is Prince, and Legolas, his son, would also be a Prince (thank you all those reviewers who told me that. I can't believe I forgot Prince William when I was trying to work it out!) Legolas is very young in this fic - the elf age equivalent to a human of about 15. His mother was killed by a dwarf when he was younger. Haldir and his brothers are in the wood-elves army.

Gil-Galad and Galadriel lead the Noldor elves. Elrond is Gil-Galad's herald. Elladan, Elrohir and Arwen all exist. Aragorn's parents, Gilraen and Arathorn are King and Queen of Gondor. Aragorn was sent to Rivendell to be taught by the elves, and is now learning from the Rangers. He travels with Halbarad.

The Hobbits probably won't come into this. Gandalf and the other Istari were sent by the Valar to try and bring peace.

Any questions? I hope I've included everything, but if I've missed something out please tell me.

Anyway, on with the story.
