Fourth Experiences: Terrible Discovery



I had come to the Sanctuary of the Laiquendi Order looking for more ancient tomes and noldorian texts when an Entry I had discovered beared a name of curious nature: It had a Quenya Title and beginning (little of which I know of), but it slowly transcended into the westron language. How odd.

Here reads the following entry (It is transcribed in Tengwar runes):

 

Doriath, Isilya, Tuilë, 1495 Years of the Sun

 

Nortor! Perestan san... Nanyë fauca... Merin apla... Ai! Ú haryan estel.

 

I was forced to commit the act of the kinslaying, pressured by the other Noldorians. Alas, how grim it was that I had to slay other elves, I feel pressured, I feel hopeless. I do not want to go through this again. Alas for Feanor, what madness has caused him to commit such an act of madness and encourage his other kin to help him?! He is not worthy of being a high king of the Noldor, he deserves punishment for his treachery and his willingness to slay other Elves, of whom we are related to. The Teleri suffered cruelly at the hands of the Noldor, and I do know that they have not yet forgotten the pain they had endured during those times. Families ripped apart, loved ones perishing. Alas for Feanor! I curse him, I rue him! He who was so valiant, yet decided to commit those acts of cruelty. Alas, he has fallen to madness, alas...

 

I write this entry in hopes that when I leave Middle-earth, someone shall discover the true face of Feanor, and punish him for his deeds. I shall not rest until I know our "High King" is brought to Justice before the Valar.

I dropped the book I had been holding once I read the last name...

My own mother, forced to commit such acts of crime under  Feanor, whom I once thought as an admirable figure.

"Despicable!" I cried out, and collapsed, weeping, cursing the name of Feanor along with Maeglin.
