Emhyr murdered my child, and I lost my brother, my husband, and hundreds of our people, because of your lie? I can’t undo what I’ve done. He deserves it. He deserves to suffer just as you have.

Where did we first meet? Seaside. When I was first orphaned. I was alone. A young, half-elven boy, without friend or kin. You gave me water.

"Aredhel Ar-Feiniel, the White Lady of the Noldor, daughter of Fingolfin, dwelt in Nevrast with Turgon her brother, and she went with him to the Hidden City. But she wearied of the guarded city of Gondolin, desiring ever the longer the more to ride again in the wide lands and to walk in the forests, as had been her wont in Valinor; and when two hundred years had passed since Gondolin was full-wrought, she spoke to Turgon and asked leave to depart." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of Maeglin"

[ID: four posters in soft shades of pale pink, grey, and dark brown or black.

1: A close-up of south sudanese-australian model Adut Akech, showing about half of her face. She faces the viewer, looking at them with a neutral expression. She has dark brown skin and dark hair braided back. She wears several silver earrings and a pink feathery garment that reaches her chin. White lines frame the left and upper side of the image. White text in the upper left corner (where the lines meet) reads "aredhel" in all caps and, below it in cursive, "noble one" / 2: The branches of a cherry blossom tree in bloom. Two white lines run down the right side, and white and brown cursive text aligned to them reads "a gleam of white" / 3: Forested, snowy mountains against a somewhat cloud sky. Same format as Image 2, but the elements are on the other side, and the text reads "in the dim land." / 4: Adut Akech, this time shown from the waist up, with her face out of frame. She is wearing a fringed pink shirt with thin straps, silk skirt, and large gold earrings. One hand is on her hip and her head is turned to the right. Same format as Image 1, but the lines are on the right and bottom sides, and the text reads "írissë" and "desirable" //End ID]

With what authority do you speak, Elf? That of your people? Or are you a castaway, grasping for a handhold in a tempest?

But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
