| | Stories of Arda |
| | I thought that Arvedui gave the ring of Barahir to the Chief of the Lossoth, and yet you seem to speak of a king in your story, so I'm a bit confused. | | | Her Elvish name however is from 'Lost Tales' book one, meaning 'Winter One' it was a nickname for 'Fui Nienna' then the wife of Mandos, later his sister and a much less sinister figure. | | | It's interesting because I am in the middle of re-reading the Appendices to LotR, and just last night I read the part about Arvedui and the Lossoth, and I thought to myself, "This would make a wonderful tale; I wish someone would write about it." And today I went here and saw this story. |
