- ~The White Lady, the Dark Elf, and the Staff of Doom
In Which the King's Sister Flies the Coop and Meets a Tall, Dark, and Handsome Stranger, Inadvertently Sowing the Seeds of Gondolin's Destruction. The Hidden City of Gondolin is doing great. Peace has prevailed for years; the future looks bright. What can possibly go wrong? Was Ulmo full of baloney or was there something to his warnings about treachery? For once, we'll stop discussing the doings of whole kindreds of Elves and zoom in on just one family in "Of Maeglin," the sixteenth chapter of the Quenta Silmarillion. I'm pretty sure the titular character is the quietest and most understated Elf we've met thus far, but that's all right. This is just his origin story. [More]

RESEARCH AIDS:
• From Ask About Middle-earth:
- ~Turin and Finduilas
I really don't think [Turin] loved [Finduilas] romantically, no. Some readers have argued otherwise, but for me the evidence is pretty clear (and surprisingly consistent across multiple versions). [More]
