Welcome, dear reader, to a collection of various non-chapters of The Airequalmë series. The series is a Silmarillion take on Girl Falls into Middle Earth started on January 1, 2018. Within these pages will be dedications, music, author's notes, discussion for plans, q&a's, tidbits, and character profiles for the few OCs and my take on the canon characters.The series, based on a reversal of Dante's Divine Comedy, is a Fingon/OC romance + angst/adventure. Not too much will be changed from canon events. Take a peak inside. Leave some comments, votes, the whole nine yards.I look forward to meeting you all, and having you meet the story.Stories:A Different Kind of Heaven (complete)A Different Kind of Purgatory (complete)A Different Kind of Hell (updating)…

UNDERGOING REWRITE AUGUST 2021Fëanoriel Chronicles Book 5- * - * -YEAR 51 FOURTH AGEAfter impulsive heroics at the Second Battle of the Pelennor, Aderthon, nephew of King Elessar through Elrohir, is bound to a First Age ring of power that keeps his spirit bound to Arda and sundered from the Undying Lands. Hope is in short supply for him in the months that follow. With Orodruin dormant, none know how to destroy it other than to seek for the ruins of the fortress of Morgoth, Utumno, where some of the forges may still be lit. But no one knows where to find them.When a mysterious elf arrives in Minas Anor claiming he can guide them, for a price, a quest is set to travel to the East to seek the ruins of Utumno. A fellowship of seven is chosen to keep Aderthon safe, both from the outside world and from himself. - * - NEW EXCERPT - * -Ironic. Fate, doom, seemed to truly love to damn Fëanor's line to atonement for an oath ill-sworn. He had Lady Lúthien's blood as well. Was her part in Sauron's downfall catching up with her descendants through his ring? Movement beyond the Ring of Berúthiel tore his thoughts away. The two young men, both singled out of their training with the Citadel Guard as prime candidates for the Red Company had stood back up tall. Aderthon couldn't help flashing them a small smirk. He took a quick drink.Moving back over to their large, packed dirt circle, he twisted his wrist, Galmegil glinting golden red in the dawn. He didn't train his recruits with blunt swords. Neither his, nor theirs. The Red Company took only the best. It would always take only the best. Either they controlled themselves enough to neither harm nor be harmed, or they did not belong.Perhaps the Doom of Mandos hung over them. Perhaps they had no hope of finding a way to destroy this accursed ring. But as the recruits, Berenor and Malrin, stood ready to oppose him without hesitation, Aderthon just nodded.They would just have to do without hope, then.…

#1 in Tolkien, #1 in Silmarillion, #1 in Lord of the Rings, #1 in Elrohir, #1 in DunedainFirst in LotR series, Fëanoriel Chronicles.Written in 2012. Awaiting rewrite.***Miril has been raised by Halbarad of the dúnedain after her forebearers came from Arnor, and before that Numenor, and even before that from Beleriand. She and her family are destined for things she doesn't quite comprehend yet. Though a seasoned ranger already, having faced the trials of the North for nearly 40 years, things hardly get easier with age.But before she can step into her own story, she journeys with her best friends, the twin sons of Elrond, running errands leading up to the War of the Ring. Her love of battle and craving for revenge for a death in her past leads to a discovery coming to light that some thought should've been kept hidden. They also might point to the truth of her parentage.When she starts having strange dreams about a swan ship, an oathbreaker, and a shining jewel, things just get crazier.Elrohir/OC***Internal timeline will stretch from beginning of Lord of the Rings into the Fourth Age post War of the Ring with flashbacks.Needs a rewrite and general editing since it's 6+ years old, but I still like the premise and it spawned many sequels so... Please bear that in mind.***FOR LORE:-BOOK CANON, not movies-Some liberties taken with the Ban of the Valar. -Technically this is Ninth Walker, not Tenth Walker (a more canon compliant version).…
