I am posting a day early because Bobby and I are driving up north to Hershey tonight to see Stars on Ice, and I am off from work tomorrow. And I know myself. I will not wake up until ten (maybe eleven); Bobby and I will go out to lunch; we will find ways to distract ourselves for a couple of hours. By the time I find my way onto the computer, you

I wonder if Fëanor's guest might be one of the Valar, come to tell him tales about what Nolofinwë might be up to in his spare time. . .

Heh heh...I do love the hypotheses that come up whenever AMC provides enough plot to create a little mystery! ;)

The "secret guest" will be revealed soon enough. Until then.... *mum*

I also enjoyed reading about the New Year festival. I'm guessing, from the nature of it, that you're setting the New Year around the winter solstice?

Yes, although would there have been an actual solstice then? This whole world of non-existent sun is hard to work in.

I enjoyed writing about this festival a good deal and the cultural response of the three kindreds. Thanks for the reading rec; I will certainly check that out! Especially since I'm in the midst of world-building for my original stories in the Midhavens and looking for ideas for festivals and myths and strange cultural norms...whatever I can find! My imagination only goes so far.

I wonder about the Avari/Sindar too. Of course, I've started answering this already in my mind, since the Noldor will eventually encounter them. But the danger is still real to them, whereas it has become only symbolic for the Eldar.
