The Hidden and Heretical Musings of A Latter Day Loremaster of Aman

Oct 26, 2010 03:42

 In the fashion of the SilmariIlion, I imagine these writings to be scrolls stuffed in the most secret of places by a Noldo loremaster, in the days shortly after the sudden arrival of Ælfwine over the Long Road, stirred again among the elves, especially the Noldo, feelings of curiosity about the fate of Arda and Men. I imagine, those of the Noldor who had mortal friends would be especially full of questions and hopes. And since, the Noldor are supposed to be an especially curious bunch of philosopher-scientists, I am sure at least some of them were willing to challenge the teachings of the Valar, after millennia of basically having nothing to do.

Warnings: Deals with the nature of life, death, after-life and the soul, with a slightly non-Catholic interpretation. Then, it is heretical after all....

(The Hidden Musings)

Please be gentle. This is the first work of fiction/semi-fiction I have ever put anywhere another living being might see it. I have tried to emulate the style of the Silmarillion to the best of my ability. Constructive criticism and thoughts actively being asked for! :)) 

discussion, essay
