New! The Craft of the Elven Smith by Larner

[Reviews - 1]
Table of Contents
Fëanor, perhaps the greatest of the Elven smiths, after the theft of his Silmarilli and the murder of his father managed to upset the balance of the world, leading his sons and many of the Noldor in rebellion against the Valar and the rest of the Elves of Aman. But his estranged wife Nerdanel was a smith in her own right as well as being a sculptor of note, and to her the Valar appealed to craft artifacts intended one day to help restore the balance imperilled by her husband.

Quest by Cathleen
Rated PG
[Reviews - 8]
Table of Contents
The Fellowship has not travelled together for long but already it is apparent that the One Ring’s influence on Frodo Baggins is growing. As he struggles to keep his increasingly dark thoughts at bay, his companions are finding they also are subject to a subtle increase in moodiness. Frodo has taken to sleepwalking, Pippin, to night wandering and secrecy. Although Legolas has discovered part of Pippin’s secret, he allows himself to believe Pippin’s reassurances, and agrees to keep what he knows to himself for the time being.
Before long, a blizzard traps the Fellowship in a cave where their problems escalate, and suspicions grow difficult to ignore. . .
