Summary
Maeglin discovers an unexpected property of the sword Anguirel: the ability to make telepathic contact with the holder of its mate, Anglachel. For reasons unclear even to himself, he begins to forge a relationship with the person he finds on the other end of the connection, a mysterious mortal whose grief runs as deep as Maeglin's own.

Of Finrod the faithful by EtDonaFerentes

Summary
Finrod Felagund is *interesting*. He’s often seen as this saintly wonderful creature of love and goodness, but he is in fact a Finwean even if his mother is from Alqualondë and his father tried very hard to pretend that he wasn’t related to his two quarrelsome brothers, and his character is greyer than often assumed.
The point of this is not to argue that Finrod is a villain, or that his many good qualities don’t exist. Instead, I want to explore his darker, more questionable traits and choices. Because he *is* a Finwean, and he *has* flaws, just like everyone else in this disaster of an extended family.Bookmarked by avidelkreader

Summary
In-universe, the Quenta Silmarillion is not written by an omniscient, unbiased narrator, but rather by an in-world narrator, Pengolodh, leading to some very interesting questions about bias and framing, which I'll be exploring in this essay.
