Old lettter from Galendil of Bar-an-Vanimar to Lothiavien, Daelith the emmisary



(( I was searching for a completely other log and I came acros this, very dear to me as it was the main -only even?- IC reason for my Lothi to be in Vanimar. Anglachelm had later about the same idea for Lothi's reason to be member of Vanimar. The text does not belong to me, I only formated it from /say ))

This letter was brougth to Silimiel Lothiavien, sister of Caradin, by Daelith on behalf of Tur Galendil of Bar-en-Vanimar. The letter ended up stained with blood as a sign by fate of the bad news it was bringing, as Daelith ran into the Orc infested Fanuidhol taking the wrong way to Caras Galadhorn.

I hereby sent his heirloom, medallion of the swan, long he struggled to claim this, now through his blood and toil on it.it is your heirloom, your birthright. Through my deepest respect to you and your family. I could only suggest you to wipe away your tears, after your brother gave his life for the Noldor, he became our own brother as well. If you so choose to avenge the blood of his, or seek shelter and refuge far abroad your house, seek Vanimar.

Your brother,

Galendil, Tûr of Bar-en-vanimar
