That is a perfect last line - and I like the idea of the memories carved into the walls of the Hall of Fire.

Thank you very much!
The long story ends with Emlinn and Lindir and their colleagues performing Maglor's quartet in the Hall of Fire-- and I like to imagine that as they did so they were sitting underneath Oderen's carvings.

I remember the original story well - I think I met it at the MEFAs. And I like the idea of them playing under Oderen's carvings, too.

carry his songs beyond the reach of Doom

An important mission indeed. How terrible these days must have been.

[hhimring]

Yes, it does seem an important mission to me--that although Maglor was defeated and worse than defeated, his songs should live on. They were indeed terrible days and they drove people to do terrible things.
Thank you very much for commenting!

I like the thought of that freize, carrying the songs ...

[hhimring]

Thank you! I'm so pleased that this series worked for you!

I've enjoyed this glimpse into 'their' world. That's the great joy of fan-fic - the elaborations on the theme.

[hhimring]

Thank you!
It is one of the great joys, isn't it? You can just decide to pick up a thread, almost any thread, and decide to elaborate--Tolkien's or your own!

I love the idea of having all that history visible in the Hall of Fire in this way. It's a wonderful ending to this storyline. Thanks for the link to the story!
