Summary
"Far to the north befell the strife of Morgoth and Ungoliant; but the great cry of Morgoth echoed through Beleriand, and all its people shrank for fear; for though they knew not what it foreboded, they heard then the herald of death. Soon afterwards Ungoliant fled from the north and came into the realm of King Thingol, and a terror of darkness was about her; but by the power of Melian she was stayed."
We know Melian had enough power to ward off Ungoliant, but with how hard it was for Melkor to fight her off, it couldn’t have been an easy thing for Melian.

Summary
The exhaustive analysis of Maedhros's character development from 1919 to 1973 that I have been promising people for years, with some hints as to how he might have ended up if Tolkien had ever finished writing the Quenta Silmarillion.
Does this sound enticing and exciting enough to read nearly 20k words? Probably not. I am terrible at summaries.
Enjoy.Bookmarked by wisecorn29

Summary
The next thing he knew was light, brilliant and golden as if from Laurelin itself. He blinked, shielding his eyes instinctively until they adjusted. The light source was nothing natural like a tree but a great orb of fire which hung in the sky, menacing those below like a great eye. So the Valar did not need his Silmarils after all, it seemed! They had done well enough without.
Fëanor is returned from the Halls of Mandos and placed into the provisional care of his adopted grandson for further healing. He grapples with adjusting to the Fourth Age of Arda and confronting the many elves who are apprehensive about his return. At least his grandson shows some promise.
