The Isle of Balar, F.A. 540

(G)

The lonely figure drew his cloak tighter about him and gazed north, over the shores where Sirion met the sea, beyond the tossing green willows of Nan-Tathren, just beneath the ranks of menacing cloud that obscured the stars. His Elven eyes saw the dim shadows of mountains, but his memory saw further - snowy peaks encircling a green vale, in the center of which a white city gleamed in the sun.

            It becomes plain to the remnant of the Elves that the world has indeed changed.  Just one year after the fall of Thangorodrim, the full extent of the devastation of Beleriand is revealed.  Lands have sunk, seas have risen, and the coastlines have rolled away; but by some miracle, the Isle of Balar remains. 

          In the span of seven short years, everything changes for the Elves of Balar.  Much of what transpires is written elsewhere, but the great events of the end of the First Age are observed and recorded by the dutiful chroniclers of Balar.
