"Tumhalad was a field in West Beleriand that lay between the Narog River and its tributary, the Ginglith. Here the army of Nargothrond, fought a last desperate defence against an onslaught led by the Dragon Glaurung... one that ended in tragedy. But before that time, it was a beautiful grassland, guarded by loyal stewards and hardly a wasp could escape the sting of elven arrows..."

Story

            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.

Story

I was born in Menegroth, but spirited away before the violence brought it down. I came of age in Arvernien, but after my sister wed, my father and I were alone. Mother would not leave her family home, in Harlindon, so we took to the road north, to find what awaited us.

In the late days of the First Age, Ainurél of Doriath, a broidress and weaver, was wed to Silwë of Valinor, a commander of the Noldorin military, and reputedly a master jewelsmith. This choice was unpopular m, and they were wed in solitude, speaking their vows to each other and the Valar on the sandy shore of the Gulf of Lhûn.
