The History of the Silmarils - a serialization
Maybe it's so Maglor can tell them apart?
btw...I would prefer to be called Elen, if you don't mind. It's only 2 extra letters but they make a difference to me. I'm sure I told that other SA guy once, too...)

There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

Next instalment up!
I hope to goodness I have got the terms of the revoking of the Noldor Ban correct...I am sure you will advise me if not, V (you don't mind if I call you V, do you, Voronwë? )
I will be attempting to portray the deaths of Maedhros and Maglor, but since those events will take without witnesses, in this instalment I thought it might be neater to have Eönwë's brief foretelling to give a sense of closure for those at the camp.

You can call me V; just don't call me late for dinner! (Sorry couldn't resist.)
I hope when you say "the deaths of Maedhros and Maglor" that is a shorthand and you really mean Maedhros's death and Maglor ambiguous fate, as unless I am misremembering, Tolkien never described Maglor's death, just his throwing the Silmaril in the Sea and singing in pain and regret by the waves. I have always loved that image (if loved is the right word), and would hate to lose it.
I'll read the new installment in a little bit!

With regard to your question about the Ban, Tolkien wrote so many different things, that I don't think it is possible to say with certainty what is "right". But I feel confident in saying that what you did is not "wrong" and I think it works.

That's how I understood it - that there was no definitive version. But I think Galadriel's words from UT are the most helpful for making sense of it all, in terms of coming up with something for this screenplay.
