Notes:

Welcome to the Hillbilly/Western/1920s mashup nobody asked for but everybody’s getting. The events of this AU will be told through stories and artwork, in no particular order, published as the creators desire. Some events are adapted from the Silmarillion, while others are things that we really wish had happened, and still others are merely the imaginings of our fevered minds. A general overview of the AU is as follows:

Fëanor knows there is Something out there in the forest. It’s getting closer, it’s coming for them. He’s sure it killed his brother, Fingolfin—crushed him in a landslide near the mines. He has no proof, though. Everyone knows he’s always been paranoid, delusional even. His wife and sons believe him, they’ve felt it just as he has. But what can they do against an entity of creeping destruction as it fights its way past the stone that kept it caged deep within the Earth? Fortify their home, look after each other, and possibly dabble with greater powers themselves (though that’s mostly Nerdanel).

The inhabitants of the closest town avoid wandering into the forest, sticking close to the road when they do. They aren’t scared of any supernatural powers, just the family of hillbillies living somewhere in those dark trees. The far-flung members of the Finwë clan occasionally come into town to buy or trade for things (especially the many sons who somehow always seem to become more numerous as the years go by). The stores aren’t going to turn them away though as business is business. The local Madam, in particular, appreciates their patronage and has some kind of history with Fëanor. Things stay quiet in the town, except for when they don’t.

The clan of Fëanor changes over the years. He likes collecting sons.

 

Faces come and faces go, but no one can truly escape this place, not once it’s got its teeth in them.

 

Once you see what’s out there, It’ll never let you go.
