    Summary

    “Brother will betray brother to death, and a Father His children; children will rebel against their Father and have him put to oblivion.”

    The end of the First Age was meant to mark the triumph of the Host of the West and the final defeat of the Great Enemy. However, tilt the knife’s edge a fraction, shift a single piece on the celestial board, and the world may be remade. Still, Vairë’s weaving allows no alternative, and no other outcome could ever come to pass.

    In which, Eärendil, the Star of Hope, falls and the consequences are terrible.
