Tolkien never mentioned what happened to Dís, sister of Thorin Oakenshield and mother of Kíli and Fíli. So my guess is as good as anybody’s!Summary for this chapter:
Elrohir finds it increasingly difficult to keep both Námo and his sanity; Erestor and Glorfindel suspect he has lost the latter long ago.
Legolas' son explores so-far unknown parts of the Halls of Waiting and makes a new friend.
Meanwhile, the merry company of Elf and Dwarves finally arrives in Mirkwood, and as expected, Lórindol's first encounter with the guardians of Mirkwood's borders surpasses Dís' worst expectations.
