    “An architect,” Lace observes, although the bug is clearly alive. It’s terribly banal.

    Summary

    "The sword remembered by history is rarely the sword that falls. The mistake is in thinking history exists to preserve a thing that happened, when in truth it only exists to replace what happened with an account of what happened. The true event retreats before its own record as a stone retreats beneath soft, vivid-green moss, each retelling another layer of growth, each layer another season's omission, until all that stands is the surface that has consumed the stone. The stone is still there, technically, at the core, but the core is no longer the story. The moss is the story. The moss is what you touch when you reach out to feel the stone."
    ___________________________

    In Doriath, Maglor catches a glimpse of two young princes being taken into a forest, only to disappear in the blink of an eye. Years later, as Sirion burns to the ground, he comes across two younger princes engrossed in a game of knucklebones.

    Summary

    “For no war ever ends. Children born tomorrow are shaped by arrows fired yesterday. Celeborn’s daughter was born over a thousand years after the sacking of her father’s birthplace. She will live to the breaking of the world having only ever known a father who once watched his homeland burn and spent the rest of his life counting Doriath’s dead. Like all war-children born to a world that had already ended for their parents, Celebrían had to learn there were rooms within her father she could never enter, whole wings of his fëa razed to the ground.”
    —————
    A study of Celeborn, the Second Kinslaying, and his lost Doriath, from the First Age to the Fourth.
