#tbf they had absolutely no experience with actual lethal diseases before this

[silvantransthranduiltrash]

Ok, but like, valinor was “perfect” right? As in no hunger, no diseases, no fighting.

But middle earth? Man, that place has given up trying to be dignified, starvation, disease, war, etc. in most places.

So. When the noldor arrive from yonder shores, especially those born in valinor?

They all almost die bc they do not have the immunity to survive the shock to their immune system due to the dozens of new diseases introduced to them when they step foot on beriliand.

It’s not morgoth that’s the danger, it’s the goddamn germs.
